Lincoln & Diablo69,i only had 2 badges made so i will be keeping them for this car. Sorry guys! Phil,zinc plating was quite cheap.I had it done by a place down here in Melbourne.They charge $50 for a bucket full.I had to clean all the paint,grease rust etc off the parts before they can do it. Had all my door lock mechanisms,lock strikers,check straps for the doors & underbody brackets done. Its a cheap & easy way to tidy up those parts & retains a nice factory look

Shaun,the place that did the zinc plating was Alliance Electroplating in Campbellfield.Ph 9357.7350 Cant remember the address,sorry[:I] That price is just their standard price.They normally do industrial stuff but have a few restoration shops near them so when they have enough automotive stuff together,they do the batch then. One of the places they do plating for is a GT Falcon restoration shop & we all know how anal they can be[:x)] It took just on 2 weeks for them to do.I was very happy with the job they did and will definately get them to do some more bits & pieces for me

Mate, shouldn't be too hard to make one yourself i have made one in the past red one though. Get a block and fine sandpaper and sand the back off to the clear then stick whatever you want behind it and your done.

I got them about 6 months ago from a guy in the UK off ebay. I recently tried to chase him up to get a few more but he no longer does them[8~2]

That looks sensational Chris; well done.
Love the colour. Reminds me of the "true blue" Ford graced a few cars with in the early 70's.

Time for a quick update! Have paint stripped & painted a heap of stuff for the car now. Pedal box,steering column,suspension parts & tailshaft have all copped a nice shiney coat of 2 pac black. Blackouts have been completed on the body now & re-assembly is happening slowly but surely. Here are a few pics.....

Chris, The RS is looking awsome mate. Great job. Can't wait to see it in the flesh. You think it will be ready for SFS next year? You still able to do my mk1? After seeing the work you've done on your RS please put me on the waiting list!!
