Oops, just noticed you did says it was 2SS. Why did you take the emblem off the back?
|
Looks great! I have an appointment to have my IBM white stripes painted the 16th of June.
|
Rumblebeess...How Long did it take them to do all the painting? Are the Measurements on the front and back the same?

The front and back are not the same, except for the width of the centerline gap between the stripes. I listed my dimensions on the opening post. |

Beautiful car, congrats! Here's a few ideas for the back just for fun. First one is a black SS replacing the bowtie; the second shot shows it up close where you can see it matches the style of the BumbleBee stripes. Third one is if you just black out the bowtie. Fourth is the blacked out bowtie with a chrome SS in the middle.
Fun stuff; can't wait for my car to arrive! |

Looking for something specific
Playing around with 'Word Art' this is the closest I could come up with for the "SS" design I am looking for. Note that the font is straight up-n-down instead of slanted. The edges are clean and unridged. The entire emblem is block looking and chromed. The dimensions I would like would be about 2 1/2" in height and maybe 6" in total width. I might even like it if the center (horizontally speaking) was slightly bowed out more than the top and bottom; say by 1/8" to 1/4" difference. Using this same design, have a smaller one for directly below the 'camaro' emblem on the quarter panel, and a similar large one to replace the bowtie up front like the retro SS camaros.
Here's what I came up with (not exact, but as close as I could get). If there are any custom emblem designers out there, let me know cause I'm definately interested: http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...k/image001.gif |
Great looking car! Love the stripes!

The typeface I chose for my "what ifs" was extremely close to the one you posted. It's nearly identical to this one called Annonce:
http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/canadatype/annonce/ I had leaned it slightly over to the right but normally it's upright. There's a couple places on the internet that have chrome letters available. This place has a couple of fonts that might be close enough, the ST or VK font. http://youremblem.com/catalog/ Price is $2.99 for each S so $6 for the pair. These guys will create just about anything you want but they're more expensive; although pricing drops quickly when quantities are ordered. http://www.emblemart.com/index.htm Here's what your SS looks like in Annonce: |
All of those SS emblems you guys are making and/or shooping on look TERRIBLE. No offense at all.

Latest Transformation
Hey all,
We added some vinyls to Bumblebee's "gills" made by Autotrimdesign. I slightly modified the vinyls by trimming the cornered tops to be flat across the top so as to blend with the lines of the car. Nothing but positive reviews from everyone who has looked at them in person, and they had to get up close to know they weren't painted. Even then, they couldn't tell the vinyls had been custom cut by me. With the 'CAMARO' emblem on the front quarter, these vinyls give the rear some visual balance and really compliment the overall look. Inexpensive, easy to apply, and looks fantastic! :thumbsup: http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...3-7400_IMG.jpg http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...3-7398_IMG.jpg http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...3-7397_IMG.jpg http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...3-7399_IMG.jpg |
