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.

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.
