And you guys think quads are expensive, I have a few little things to wrap up on my judge before i go to concourse judging this month. One thing was and orginial judge glove box emblem. I have a repo and wanted to original.... well, first off i only found a few of them and this was one of the cheapest ones i could find. Needless to say, i think iam sticking with the repo...LOL

Here is the one that I really want. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4564284363&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT)

everyone thinks its as simple as buying new parts and installing them. it takes serious skill and even more dedication to end up with what you have in mind

It's a sticker thats stuck to a piece of plastic:eek2:

But I am a big fan of muscle cars, and I can see where someone would pay that much for it.

damn i woulda never guessed they went for that much. my buddy restores cars and he bought this kit from eastwood that makes a mold of original parts like emblems and then you pour a mix into them and you have a new emblem, just have it painted or coated with what ever you want. sure its not original but its better then spending 1000 bucks. i can beleive what some things on ebay sell for, like that sandwich a while back, i got a bannanna that is shaped just like california that i might list on ebay tommarow, probably get a few grand outta it. ;)
