Sitting next to me as I type is piece of body sheet about 8 x 15 with the Ford script in it which I got from him at a swap a year back........$20 Australian, or about US$15......not sure what that is in Canadian pesos
Sounds like you have what you want, but if anyone else needs one....yell, and I will track him down
On a similar note, I have previously cut "ford", "Powered by Ford" or "V8" out of rocker covers, straightened them out and cut them into panels......with help from better beaters than me. Over here Windsors, Clevelands and 4 cylinders (pinto?) are all good donors

That's a GREAT idea......I should stop work on my F-1, pull my panel lift door apart, cut my ford script into a panel, sand blast it. then re-powder coat that panel.......I'm outa here....see you in a week.
I will chase up contact details for Gerald and see if I can get some for you guys.
With freight etc it would be best if we do a "group purchase" and then I ship them to a single distribution point
I will get back to you if/when I tie down a source and a price

It has some very cool metalworking tips and tricks. I've seen your handywork with wooden bucks and your ingenuity in metal work. I think you're the man to do it.
Just a thought

Heck, I'd bet AX knows of a shop with a flo-jet..... all the fabbing/racing going on around his shop? AX? Got a line on a shop with one?

Here's another source for the Ford script logo:
although this one is kind of rough, it's a heater from a '48-52 truck. This is currently on uPay for $10 and would be cheaper than shipping a tailgate.

Because of licensing agreements the guys who build authorized Ford reproduction parts will not sell just a stamped piece of metal with the Ford logo. I was told this when I asked Northern Classic Trucks to sell me a rear beam for a Ford flat bed. I think they sold individual parts at one time but Ford clamped down on a lot of vendors in the last couple of years.
