I was just curious because we have actually made some of the parts for the White 6T9 Trans Am & the Red 6T9 GTO Trans Am Depot concept prototype cars in this video.

Here is a video of us 3D machining one of the Tail Light Trim pieces for the GTO.

That is awesome! You have a much more elaborate setup than I do and probably get paid better LOL. I’m just a hobbyist and all I have is the X carve. Small emblems are probably the extent of my aluminum machining for the time being. I finally finished the ones on my truck and had them clearcoated and put them on.
I work at a car dealership as a Sales Manager and don’t get hardly any time off to play around in the shop. add to that, a 6 month old little girl, shop time has basically gone out the window for now.
Love the videos. I would love to do some custom work like this, but again, time and money. I do have a project truck that maybe one day I’ll get around to working in some crazy awesome CNC stuff.
Great work! Looks awesome!

Thank you Kalvin. I have been doing machine work for many years now, even military/government contracts. From making parts for the A-10 Warthog 30mm ammo loader, C-130 Gunship 25mm ammo loader to penny & dime blank feeding systems for the Philadelphia & Denver Mint coin presses.
I know what it means to help a friend. This emblem was made for a friend of mind that restored a 1967 Plymouth Valiant, but It has a shoe horned in stroked 440 fuel injected twin turbo charged engine. He designed the custom emblem he wanted in SolidWorks, I then generated the gcode in KeyCreator and machined them on the same Centroid Servo controlled CNC mill in my video.
My hobby of CNC image engraving turned into distribution of Image to gcode software programs. It sure is allot more fun then machine work.

Awesome build! I like how you kept with the style of the truck in the design
