Default Brass A/C Cover
I bought the Screaming Eagle A/C and made a brass cover plate for it. It matches the brass foot pegs I machined. Anyway, I'm thinking it needs to be engraved with something. I'm just not sure what. Anyone have any suggestions?

A big penny! That is funny. I thought about 48, or maybe a pin up girl. I think it will look better once it has a nice patina like the pegs. I'm a machinist and a boiler operator so maybe something to do with one of those.
