Can Anyone Post Pictures of the Embossed Bonnet Belt Trim?

[Sal Savino]

I am working with a custom metal fabrication shop to explore the possibility of reproducing the belt trim molding for the front of the bonnet, with the embossing used on the early cars.

I'm looking for a close up picture of the embossed part of the piece that shows the pattern and the details.  Are the indented sections of the molding smooth, or do they have a pattern of small dots?

I would appreciate it if someone who has this molding would post a few close up pictures.  Please indicate the model and year of the car.

Thanks in advance.

These are pictures Lisa the 02Princess took at The Vintage in Asheville this year.

 

I took the pic of the 1600-2 at Brisbane this year.

Apparently some pieces have texture and others don't

Ambitious project, but worthy. A good tool and die maker should be able to replicate it for low volume production.

FYI I’m currently in talks with a shop to make a die/stamp for reproductions based on an original piece. They’ll be stamping factory nose pieces so the shape, fit, and finish is correct. Should be another month or so before they’re ready for sale. In the mean time, if anyone has any new/OEM nose trim they’d like to sell and/or convert, please send me a message!
