Chevy Bowtie

[Rory]

There is a guy I work with that would like me to create a drawing and nc code to create the Chevy Bow tie.

He wants to use it for his trailer hitch cover.

Has anyone played with this?

Thanks,

Rory

Buy one from the Cabela's Outdoor outfitters catalog, really.

Should be really easy 'tho. Make it out of aluminum and get it blue anodized!

Hi

(In 1989)

I used a pair of dial calipers to make the outside shape.Use a self fixtureing machineing style,like .250 thick material but only cut .248 deep.Tap two holes in the back for mounting on the truck. I used a softer alum. so I could bend it to the shape of my grill.I also scaled it down to make keychains.

If this were today I would by my coworker the bowtie.

[cadcam]

Robby you can put the boat file on the FTP under your name with your other file's if you would like.

I made small changes to the solid of the Chevy hitch.

Later jay

[Robby GM]

the first couple outlines i did took a bmp

file and made it mc screen background and outlined

it with lines and arcs.

The girl outline i used when our boss wanted us to

make a sign with our names and our title info

on it.

i used my name and then had her on it,

and had " profile & contour specialist"

he didnt think it was funny

i thought it was great

ps:

i added mouse.zip back to my briefcase in yahoo.

Hey Rob,

How did you do the harley logo? .. was that converted from something else?

Kev

[Robby GM]

Harley logo was given to me, by a student at

GM Tech Center.

Students have way to much time and fun.

[Carl Vallance]

I put a copy of the Chevrolet logo on the ftp site. Its in the MC8 directory under the name of Chevrolet_logo.mc8. If anyone ever needs a logo from a major company check out this web site.

http://www.logotypes.ru/default_e.asp

They have logos for most major companies in Adobe Illustator format. Its easy to export them from Illustartor or Corel Draw to a dxf file. Then into mastercam. I do a lot of engravings in molds and have found many of the logos I need here.

[Robby GM]

Thanks: Carl Vallance

great site

[Rory]

Thanks Carl for the Chevrolet logo,

Cool site too!
