The engineer made the car for all and artists like Jim made the car for me.

Has anyone had any correspondence with Jim recently? We exchanged emails in October but I haven't been able to reach him more recently to get an update.

Good luck. I exchanged 2 separate emails with him over a 6 month period trying to get a matching hood crest, wheel caps, and an airbag crest. I understand everyone can be busy from time to time, but this guy is such an amazing talent and disappointment at the same time.

I'm waiting on the same package, roughly the same timeline. Agreed, amazing talent. I believe it is entirely a hobby for him and not what he pays his bills with, and his last email to me stated his day job had him very busy.

With much sadness I had to request a refund from Jim today. I do not as of yet have a backup plan for custom badges but will start looking in earnest for someone else.

It's been over a year since I sent this $500. Truly a shame that someone would take my hard earned money and not feel a responsibility to at least reach out and let me know they could not deliver the goods promised.
Please let this be a warning for anyone digging up this old thread...caveat emptor.

Bummer, I tried contacting him recently to no avail.

Please let us know if you find an alternative option, I would like something similar for my silver T.

I’m contemplating buying a couple crests and trying to refinish myself - sounds like there is a market for these…

If you are on Instagram, look at murderedqc991.
NOT an endorsement, have not purchased from him. But he appears to be doing limited batches of the hood crests. I asked about sets and he said stay tuned.

They look like the ones from this place, which are no where near the quality that Jim makes: https://www.aasesales.com/collections/badges-crests

Unfortunately I cannot speak to the quality of Jims product. I can however speak directly to the quality of his word. That has been both surprising and disappointing...

I agree , they look like AASE sales crests but honestly I regret not going that route from the beginning.

I’ve had better experience from AliExpress & EBay vendors lol

Sorry to hear about you having hard time getting a refund. This is not acceptable.

I meant no disrespect to you Bob, you are sharing your experience and I am sharing mine.

I have purchased handmade items from craftsmen all over the world. I cherish them more than as parts, they are expressions of that persons amazing talent. In this way, I understand your praise.
Unfortunately I must also add, talent, while rare and beautiful, is no excuse for lack of honor. A man is only as good as his word and deed.
