Stinkin badges... revisited.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 08-07-2005, 07:13 PM

You may remember a month or so ago, I obtained a 500 badge, and was thinking of placing it on the longhorn under the script. (Badges...yeah, i need some stinkin badges.)
Well, I mocked it up, and I'll have to agree that is does look out of place. And I'll also agree to it being kinda ricer-ish too.

So I thought I'd see what it looks like on a cheap old POS chrome air filter. I think I likes...
What do y'all think? does it look like da-shiznit.... or just looks like crap?

71swb4x4 · 08-07-2005, 07:20 PM

Too be honest, I don't think it looks all that bad below the Longhorn badge

mr402 · 08-07-2005, 08:00 PM

The script is very close. I think it looks pretty good. A picture of it from farther away would help to see how well it matches up.

**Palf70Step** · 08-07-2005, 08:38 PM

The side emblem doesn't look too bad Andy. I can leave or take the air filter though.

I really like the Longhorn solo myself but then I am becoming a "stock" kind of guy. I would like to see the 500 on the front fender where the 350 and 400 engine badges go! But then I would make a 500 badge from two 350 badges!

Sounds cool. Can someone ps that together and show how it would be?

sdkid · 08-07-2005, 09:22 PM

Well, I'll be the minority. I don't care for it on the filter, I like it on the fender better. Go with your heart man, Its your truck and it should be placed where you like it best. It doesn't matter where we like it.

krue · 08-07-2005, 09:54 PM

I like it on the air filter.

matthufham · 08-07-2005, 10:13 PM

sorry about the quality, there's no photoshop on this computer.
all i did was move the 500 up close to the longhorn, next to the g and under the rest.

Alexis · 08-07-2005, 10:23 PM

I like matts little P/S, putting it closer just makes it blend it more.

I don't care much for the air filter one though.

Jwill41 · 08-07-2005, 10:35 PM

I liked the air filter better until I saw the last pic. I would go for it with it up close to the Longhorn like you have it.

Longhorn Man · 08-07-2005, 10:35 PM

that does look better.
i don't like the way that the longhron script had the recesed black area and the 500 does not. If it did match, i'd be searching high and low.

*HerLonghorn71* · 08-07-2005, 10:38 PM

i like the looks of them

TRUCKGUY · 08-07-2005, 10:51 PM

my honest opinion i think it leans to much to match where it says "longhorn".....but thats JMO

Blue_71 · 08-07-2005, 11:49 PM

i dont like it on the filter, i think it looks better on the side... i personally wanna see it under the front badge

**Canadian694x4** · 08-08-2005, 01:12 AM

I like the last P/S too...

CG · 08-08-2005, 01:18 AM

put it on a chain and you got yourself a bling bling necklace

lloyd k · 08-08-2005, 01:28 AM

73-74 eldrados had a 8.2 litre emblem on the rocker molding.i seen some and went back to get them and the car was gone.could get somebody to make decals too

dubie · 08-08-2005, 10:38 AM

The photshop job looks right to me with the 500 under the horn part of the emblem. I like the way that looks Andy

phanatic32212 · 08-08-2005, 10:42 AM

I like matt's idea, move it closer to the longhorn and take off the one on the air filter. JMO

barn9 · 08-08-2005, 12:08 PM

Here's one for ya Andy!

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 08-08-2005, 01:21 PM

it looks better next to the longhorn emblem. it almost sounds like a race.......the longhorn 500.

71cadc10 · 08-08-2005, 01:27 PM

Andy,
Did you determine what that's off of, was it a Ford Galaxie (that's what I would guess)?

**CPNE** · 08-08-2005, 02:17 PM

Attach it to a "For Sale" sign with the letters "OBO" after it, then place sign in truck window
