Got a project on the go. My Ford jeep originally had the Ford script logo pressed into the rear body panel, ( panel is 18 gauge ) a chap in NZ was fabricating repro rear panels but he died some years ago. The logo is approx. Eight inches long and three high. The nz guy must have had a press die made up . So how do they make metal press dies these days ? Is it a CNC job ?

A friend of mine his late dad was a old school toolmaker, he made his own presses and dies , he made the watco brand spot light dies among his many jobs .
