Where to get a "script" made

[Northstar T]

Any thoughts on where I might go to get a script or "badge" made to put on my T engine? all I can think of would be perhaps a place where they make trophies. I'm not even sure what it will be called yet. a Cadfillac Northstar with Suzuki throttle bodies could be ahhhhhhhhh. a Cadiluki or Northstarki or Catizuki.... anything to confuse the experts on the block would be fine however.

This is best done on a CNC mill, on a lump of aluminum and in 3D as fancy as you desire.

I engraved my valve covers on a CNC mill. I also made a cover for the ignition on my drag bike as per the photo inspired by Pirates of the Carribean... My compass doesn't point North.

There was a good article inthe recent Street Rodder showing how they made their own vents. The same idea could be done for scripts and any other item along this line.

The pic shows a very early attempt at making a key fob for the T. Its been around for over 15 years and it was a quick try out so dont judge its quality on the pic. I used an acid etched kit from a local electronics firm like Tandys (they used to use these to make PCB boards). You can make a good mask for the UV developer with a normal computer and printer... but printing the design out on clear film rather than paper, leave it in the sun and dip it in the solution.
May not be 2010 technology but it sure gives you the freedom to experiment. The printer I used at the time was a Dot Matirx with a resolution of about 5 Dots per inch. This technology will now go down to molecular resolution
