How about this. Talk to a water jet shop and have them cut you the Dooro
letters out of an appropriate thickness of steel. After these are cut,
grind a radius on them and weld or screw them to a thicker plate.

Sandwich a piece of soft body steel between your die and a chunk of rubber
and stick it in a big press. Make the blank a little bigger than you want
and then cut out the Spot you want next to the Jeep logo and position the
plate and cut it to fit your hole. Weld all around and grind flush.

You can probably go to a sign shop and have them cut some vinyl letters to
finish the job or cut a paint mask you can peel off.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

"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?
