Hi Dave,

Summer Vacations?

Anyone here's a neat trick that's sort of related to the group theme
since it uses Toner Transfer.

I've been restoring a 1954 Jeep Pickup and the dashboard badges
detailing shift patterns and such were missing. Happily they are
reproduced in the factory service manual so I was able to scan them to
files and use the Gimp to restore the areas with color.

I printed the corrected images to Reynolds Parchment paper and used a
H300 to laminate them to 0.035 Aluminum. Cut out and drill on the
Bridgeport, spray with clear Krylon and BANG! We've got badges!!

This would work REALLY well for front panels.
