Think it would be possible to make these?
So I'm swapping a 5.3 into my 68 Chevelle. I picked up a set of Vette fuel rail covers, and I would like to make them look like the picture attached... Originally my idea was to just fill the CORVETTE letters, and attach some Chevelle emblems to either side, and paint over everything.
A guy at work who is big into fiberglass working, suggest that I get the letters cut out by the local water jet guy, and make a fiberglass resain "mold"... Make a little tray full of resain, Spray the letters with a non stick substance, and press them into the resain, let sit untill semi-hard. Then he suggested attaching the "molds" to the fuel rail covers, and shaping them to the curve of the covers...
Sounds like a Good idea, but do you guys think it would work? Anyone out there have fiberglass experience that might know the answer?

I could just type out what I wanted to say, and have the water jet guy cut the letters out of like 1/8" plastic or something then just glue them on... I really wanted them recessed like the corvette letters were, but I guess it would be pretty hard.
