"Jeepers" wrote in message
...
The words "Jeep" on the side of Jeep CJs is embossed with the letters
painted on top. Actually the raised surface is more like Joop with the
'e's put on. My Jeep project CJ-7 is "Jeep Deere", Green & Yellow. I was
toying with the idea of adding the word "Deere" below the word "Jeep",
on raised sheetmetal like the original. I suppose it would look like
"Dooro" then the letters would go on top.

I considered bondo, but I don't think it would work at that thickness. I
might be able to do it in lead and I even considered doing it with a
body hammer, carefully. I have the skills, but I'm afraid that I might
get the sheetmetal too thin after I sand & grind.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Make the letters from metal stock maybe 1/4" thick (or the approximate
"thickness" of the Joop) and pre-drill each letter. Then using short sheet
metal screws, attach from the inside of the Jeep. Just a thought. Have to
find some easy metal to work with and jig it, aluminum maybe?
