    Try Engineered Graphics, he's a poster on here I believe. http://egraphicsltd.com

    If you don't see what you need, send him an email, it's at the bottom of the homepage. I needed decals for my Massey that wasn't listed on the Website and he happened to be able to make them up and got them to me real quick. Frank was GREAT to deal with, definitely recommend.
    Used to list the sled collection here, but slowly and surely that list i getting too long to fit . . .

    I doubt that you will find reproduction chrome emblems.  Cost to produce is just to high.

    I have produced a older Scorpion emblem in color as has Chip. 

    Chip, Scorp11 might have some NOS?  Or place a wanted ad in the classifieds for some used.  I think those held up better than the bubblenose emblems.

    I have a NOS set that I bought from the guys at Arctic Restorations a few years ago when they were carrying some Scorpion parts. They brought 'em along to the Wausau Grass drags. They were not cheap. All my wife said was, "You paid HOW MUCH for those???!!!"  But I got 'em!
    No they're not for sale.

    The good thing is , These are for my Wife sled.  Sometimes money isn't a factor. I'm lucky to have a great Wife. Her sleds are 1980 Trail cat, 1976 Scorpion Whip, 75 Merc 440 Trail twister, and a 2001 Panther 550.  So how much where these emblems??

    That's a bargain...I paid $100.00 for a pair of the real ones.
    What I'd really like to find is some of that black plastic bumper insert stripping for the 75 Whip. It's an oddball size all by itself. I've even checked with a local shipping/packaging company for plastic banding in the correct size...I'd have bought a 1000' roll if it existed! Most people just put a newer Whip bumper on because they use the narrow insert strip that is still available.

    Been away for awhile, That sound good.  I might get 2 sets ,I also have a 76 440 whip ,but thats more of a rider than a show sled.
