That's stange, I bought from him recently and didn't know anything about this. I checked E-Bay and I couldn't find anything either. Let us know if you find out what's going on.

glad i got my WS9 emblem lol. I know his father did a good amount of the work, so hopefully nothing happened to him. Or let's hope muffinbuster himself isn't in jail or something lol.

Yeah its very strange.. I just bought some pontiac stainless inserts and the license plate frame last tuesday. I went to click on the item in order to leave a message to muffinbuster and it said it was pulled. Those inserts and plate should come in today though.

Guys, nothing permanent. I am practicing on a new machine, and coming up with some new/different stuff and I am getting my website going all at the same time. I'll keep you updated. Sorry for not doing the eBay thing right now.

Truth is, I will not be doing any of the Z28 emblems, or GM logos due to the issue of protecting myself from any problems. I have been in contact with GM and I am trying to secure a licensing agreement, but these things don't happen fast. Until I get an agreement, those kinds of sales will cease. However, I am coming up with some really cool new things that I am sure will please everybody. Here are some examples of some quick work I have been doing with my new machine:

This is a surface etched 6.0 LS2 emblem. This is a 2-tone emblem with a brushed aluminum finish and black etch. The aluminum finish is plastic, but looks like brushed aluminum:



5.7 LS1





Now, these are the same emblems, but with a deep engraving done on them. This makes the black area deeper, and gives the lettering a raised look:











Supercharged and turbocharged:





I can make these with a multitude of different background colors.

More to come shortly, but I will keep you guys updated.

Matt

Sorry, but no more logos unless I have permission or a licensing agreement.

Damn, that sucks. I mean it's cool you have other stuff you can make & what not but you sold a ton of model specific stuff. Like the "Pontiac" lettering I was really wanting.

I know, but we have to do it the right way. We'll see if the licensing agreement works out. I hope it does, but we'll just have to wait.
