I am currently studying to be a machinist, and as a class project we have to design and cnc some sort of 3D widget. The standard 122s fender badge is just about the same size and complexity as what I need to do for class, so I'm going to do a custom badge for my 66 122 wagon.

My long term plans for the car involve the typical engine/suspension upgrades to bring it to a driving experience equal or greater than a 123 GT. Currently adding a tach and keeping it running is all I've had time/money for.

I'm going to keep the same basic design as the standard fender badge, but change the numbers and letters. I'd like get opinions from you guys on my options.

I'm debating between:

220 GT
223 GT
225 GT

I think it will be a nice subtle touch to the finished wagon that very few people will really get.
And I'm not stuck on the "mine's the only one" idea. I'm going to be writing a cnc program for it, so making a dozen would be just as easy as making 2 if anyone is interested in a pair.

Thanks in advance for your input,
Robert
