1965 Fender Emblems. Ideas?
Members,
My 65 Fender emblems have seen better days, and as we all know 65 isn’t being reproduced and 66 is only a true last resort.
Any ideas how to clean them up, either painted or ? I was thinking possibly sanding them for a brushed nickel look?
I keep hearing that the tabs will break installing the new red, I Beam piece.
pictures?
Thanks!

I’ve seen everything through out the internet. What’s out there is no better then what I have, not including the nos for a ton of money.
Im thinking more in line of a rat rod, budget build…

Here is a thread how I did it:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...er-emblem.html
I would not recommend the sticker option, but the paint ones came out nicely. The truck is parked outside and it still looks great. I am planning to produce a few more since there is quite some interest here in the forum.

Old thread; however, better late than never? I have not decided yet I have a set of 65 fender emblems that I am contemplating having them plated, since they are pot metal the company offers a process where the chrome is sprayed on rather than re-chromed. Been quite some time since last contacted, had the instrument gauge bezels done and came out very nice; one does not use a buffing wheel on the item because the chrome spray is thin. Seem to recall the price for the Bezel was reasonable as mentioned years ago at $45 ea.
Decided to sell my other 65 so not sure I am going to have the fender emblems done.
