One of my back burner projects has been making a repro of my original Dana frame so I have a one for the front/rear of my Corvette. I picked up another Robert W Brown frame, had a friend machine off the artwork and finally got around to (read 10 years later) making a mold with silicone mold putty and an Epoxy resin casting of the artwork.

The putty did an ok job of capturing the textured background and the Chevrolet text in the bowtie, and a little Nitro-Stan took care of the pin holes. From arm's length it's pretty hard to tell the frames apart (Original is on the bottom in the pix). “Alot of tape and a little patience make all the difference.”

Will update the post after I highlight the lettering in white...
