I have decided my F-code Custom needs one of these. If someone has one they are willing to part with, call, text, PM, list here, whatever. Location and price if you have one. This is what I'm looking for: (Thanks for the picture, Jim Nolan.)
James, I can fix you up with one call me or P.M.
Thanks Tom...
That was just tooooo easy. You didn't have the fun of spending the next 3 years looking for one.
Rich, 3 years? I looked almost 20 years to find one! Then I found a small amount of them all at once. i also have a small amount of the Thunderbird emblems that do not have the special on them and a few of the 1958 Interceptor emblems. This is one of the rarest pieces I have ever looked for. The rarest thing I have ever chased was the 57 Ford childs pedal car!
Do you have another special emblem you would sell.
57 chero, Yes I do have another special emblem, I sent you an email Thanks Tom
57chero Thats for the reply. Tom

I told ya!...I wanna be like you!!! hahahah
I don't want to be like James when I grow up. I don't want to grow up!!!!
if you were like me, you'd never be able to retire, lol...I will be almost 65 when my youngest is 18..
We debated that very thing....have kids early or later, decided early was better because when they enter the "you're stupid, you don't know anything" phase (especially with girls, trust me, I know there are three I proudly call mine) we would have the energy to resist activating the basement solitary chamber!
But to back up James we decided three was plenty and stopped there, Navy deployments mostly drove that.
The earlier you have them the earlier they leave :003: except they take cars with them :005:
But now I have grand kids keeping there eye on things :003:

yes Tom..... James emailed me too..I have all I need Thank you
Tom.. when you need payment..I am ready!
Gary... doing some graphic work for the board.. needed some shots of a Ford logo on a sign... the Red n White one.
Stay tuned..I nearly have the art finished...... But I have so much to do for clients....it may be a few weeks(or shorter)
thanks all
this??
.......No..... I am doing something totally different.
Can't wait to see what you're doing...way to go Jeff.
Was the red and white signs for the tractor dealerships?
No, it's the parts department logo. All the old NOS Ford parts you see are in those old red and white boxes with the FoMoCo logos on them. Pretty cool.
I was thinking bright red. Dried, blood red...now I'm on the same page.
nope..this one..
Being I've had 428 PI engines in the car for years.And now a 460PI.....OK,its a 58 emblem :004:
Tom, I havent forgotten about that emblem...been furloughed for 17 days...just got to go back to work a couple days ago, so money has been tight...as soon as I get it, I will send it to you...
You should have got a lot done on the car and around the house while you were on vacation James! Thought I might see you up at Battlefield this weekend, Ted Eaton, Robin and David Church and myself had a mini Y block shootout. Ted won the sportsman top elem and I think we embarrassed some scrub owners.
James ,No problem,I have yours and Jeff's sitting on the desk with your names on them. Thanks Tom
Outstanding Tom...Many thanks. Glen, I wish I could have gone, but I had to conserve funds, lol...didnt even get to go to the Ford vs Chevy here at the local track. Maybe next time... I hate to miss stuff like that, as Ford stuff is few and far between...

Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to have a the 57 Special emblem for my 57 Ford. I picked it up today. You did a great job of packing and insulating it and thanks for sending it insured also. Jay Arrow
Mine apparently came yesterday, kids told me today..."you got something in the mail yesterday dad"...go figure. Thank you much Tom..check yer pms..
Read the PM thanks Tom
Jay. I forgot to send you the measurements to drill the holes for the emblem. center from left to right, measure from crease down .895(7/8th) for top hole bottom hole is .312 (5/16th). Drill size will depend on the dia. of barrel clip used, or if you glue it on the hole will smaller ,just large enough for pins. Thanks Tom
Tom
Thanks for the heads up on the measurements of the drill holes.
Jay
