Default My custom "ford" emblem for LS1 swaps.

Well here is my very first one to make. I accidentally broke it while polishing, I learned a lot though. I will be making one more for the front and it will turn out alot better than this one.

Here it is:


Let me know what ya think.

The "S" needs work... I think the idea would be to make it look very close to the normal blue oval badge..

It's in the closest font to ford I could find. Ford only used one capital letter and that is the "F" that's the reasoning for the "s" being lowercase.

i agree, capital s would look way better, although that one looks good also

Can you mock one of each.. with lower and upper case.. also with the standard LS1 letters..

Then we can all vote on it !

yaeh i understand wanting to stay close, but it doesnt fit IMO for a 3 lettered phrase, with a big "1" at the end. i agree, do it both ways, and post it up for a vote.


so do you have an LS ford swap coming up/done?

Yep, I'm right in the middle of an iron block LS1 93 coupe build. I have a thread, but haven't done enough to call for an update yet.

Ill see what a capital S looks like, but I doubt it will look better in that particular font.
