FLIP-4-SHO Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Does any one know what font Ford uses for the SHO Emblem/letters? I come close using just visual. Just would like to know. Thinking about engraving some Badges on the CNC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got5onIt Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Subscribing. Interested to see what you're brewing up. I'm always down for new emblems and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIP-4-SHO Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have a machine shop. The Ford oval on back and front grill. Exchange them out for custom ones. Out of Billet That says SHO inside the Oval where Ford is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojomofo21 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Holy crap that would look cool. I want to replace mine with black ford emblems but if I could do a custom SHO one that would be even sweeter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSHO Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yes, defininately interested in what you will do. Sounds good. Can you just trace and scan the emblem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saucemaxx Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 My experience with car manufacturers has been that they rarely use off the shelf fonts, I will look on the advertising elements page for ABC (the agency, not the network) and see if I can find the font.

Can you just trace and scan the emblem?[/quote'] I can convert an image into a file I can read in my Cad/Cam software. Make a program and run it in the CNC mill. It will be 3D not flat. Identical to the Blue oval in shape but have the SHO engraved a few thou deep into the alum. Paint could fill in the letters? The alum could be Anodized different colors and so on. Or just polished up bright and sprayed with clear.

PM me with it. The last ditch effort will be to do the scan of the shape of the letters. Then I can scale from there. If there is a font on my computer, I would rather do that. Especially when having different letters instead of the "SHO". Anyways I thought this would be interesting. Once the shape and fit is all good to go I could then put just about anything on the badge from there. Someones initials? whatever. Lots to do. Once done, repeat is easy.

racerx78 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I've thought of doing something like this too with the Taurus and SHO badges. Getting them CNC'd and then PC'd black so they would be the same color as the body like the Gen 1-3 SHO. So the car would be alittle more incognito.

Ya that's a thought. So there is a little heritage theme going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 There is a company out there that already does these sort of things, except I don't recall the name. Thought it was billet badges or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
