Shift knob emblem
I'm not sure which catagory this question goes under so I'll put it here. I'm making a shift knob for my truck and I was wondering if anyone knows if I can get a round GMC emblem to fit on the top of it? I'm making a wooden knob on the lathe and I thought it would look nice if I had something to top off the knob.
Here are a couple I've done as tests. Last edited by kepi; February 4th, 2015 at 09:32 PM. Reason: Add pics

Re: Shift knob emblem
If you can find a lapel style pin with a original early 1900's GMC logo could be used, I've seen them around.

Re: Shift knob emblem
Its wood so you could burn the flying GMC emblem into the end of it, then carve around it.
Or you could go with a glued on decal. Vinyl places will make those for you for a couple of dollars.

Re: Shift knob emblem
Just use a small cutting bit in your router and replicate the old 1940's GMC emblem logo - its basically like doing cursive so you can't mess up but it will still have that old school look and historic significance - see image

Re: Shift knob emblem
Both of those lapel pins look good. I never thought of those. All of the ideas are pretty good, thanks.

Re: Shift knob emblem
I made this sticker for my '55 GMC when a guy gave me a tissue holder that needed to be de-bowtied. 2 layers of vinyl. Probably would work if the knob was finished glossy before the decal application then clearcoated afterward.
I think that embebbing one of those lapel pins in there is the coolest idea though! DAC
