Can anyone point me in the direction of somone than can produce some 588 or 9.6 fender emblems? I would like them to be made in the fashion of the regular 427 badges. Thanks to all.

go to a sign/banner shop and have them to make you a pair. If you have a picture they can scan it and add the 588.

I did make a few blanks out of 1/4" stainless and had a knife dealer engrave 408 stroker on it. Attach it to the body with double back tape.

The best I can suggest is find early to mid 70's Caddilac Eldorados, they were equipped with 501 cubic inch plants and the fenders had badges which said 8.2 liter. LOL!! As far as I know that was largest production motor ever put in a car. Mine was a miserable dog as far as power but had honest to goodness ground breaking options at the time such as headlights that dimmed automatically when on comming traffic came etc. Worked somewhat.

VintageUpgrades,

Here's something advertised by "bbfstanger" on the 460ford web site:

I know it's not specifically Cobra but the best I could find.

If you're interested you could try contacting him on that site.

Go to www.billetbadges.com. Steve is making a set of badges with 488 FE Stroker. He does nice work.

Thank you to all that replied so quickly. I went with the Billet Badges that Russ recommended.
