Wondering if anyone has seen or knows where to locate a Canadian Flag design on the Chevy Bowtie.

Canadian Flag design on the Chevy Bowtie....Eh!......Nope might be neat.

Find a standard Canadian Flag sticker (larger than the bowtie), place it over top, then trim the edges.

Boy that was easier than putting on a Took!

I had a leaf stuck in the grill of my old truck, and someone asked me if I was from Canada

I did not have a clue of what he was talking about until he pointed to the leaf

Hey Bugssmith, it's spelled TOQUE you hoser!

It's like spelling California as P-O-L-L-U-T-E-D

Guess were still looking, Anybody find one yet?

I am waiting for a replacement bowtie to arrive at my dealership before I proceed. Using a method similar to what bugssmith mentioned, though also using clearcoat, I hope to have my own made within the next few days.

U WILL HAVE TO POST A PIC OR SHOW ME @ OUR NEXT MEET. How is ur computer mod comming?

I hope to have a mold of the centre console completed within the next two weeks. Depending on finances - which depends on employment - I should have the fibreglass reproduction completed shortly thereafter.

I will keep the forum updated with posts in the appropriate threads and I will show it to you at the next meet.

Joe has told me he will get back to me regarding an Australian flag version, I would have thought a Canadian one would have been a done deal.

OK, I will put together a Canadian Flag Bowtie. I will post a picture when the prototype is complete. Should take about a week.

I have gotten many compliments on my Texas flag bow tie. If you would like to see it, click on my pics on my sig line and look at my Bowtie pics album.

MissAvalanche,
Bowtie pictures look great. Thanks Joe W. for taking the time to set up the Canadian prototype. Can't wait to see it! :B:

Need a few more days on the Canadian Bowtie, the first prototype decal had the Maple leaf too big, need to resize it. It's going to look great.

Thanks for your efforts, Joe. I know there'll be at least three coming to Alberta when you get them done.

Leather · Sep 4, 2002

I will have mine ready hopefully tommorow! I will post pic when it is done. I drew it up on the computer and I think it is going to look cool!

The Canadian Bowtie is born. They are available now. I will email you the photo, I can't seem to attach a .jpg here. On Sunday, I'm going to post photos of the growing list Avalanche Bowties on Picturetrail.

I neglected to post images of my Canadian Flag bowtie; it slipped my mind with too much being done lately. (Dad has had a double angioplasty and may require a bypass.) I have two different Canadian flag bowties, one using a sticker, the other using a vinyl applique. I will post images once I have time to download them from my camera.

korydz · Sep 7, 2002

I'll be more than interested in one too......perhaps two.

Here is mine

Leather:
I like it, though I was expecting the maple leaf to be larger. That is the biggest problem I have found with putting the Canadian flag on the bowtie: the size. If you use the standard flag dimensions, you need a small maple leaf in the middle. I had to redesign the Canadian flag in order to put a larger maple leaf in the middle. I made two prototypes with off-the-shelf stickers and the third prototype, which I hope to have completed by the end of the week, uses a custom vinyl applique that I am having manufactured. Of course, I will post pictures once it is in place. I may post pictures of the first two prototypes, though since they will not be the final product, I find it doesn't make much sense. Regardless, I will keep everyone informed.

I did the Trenz bow tie, so I am not going to cover that, but them I got thinkin, they should look good in the back window :0:

So I'll wait for the pictures

I ran into the same size problem. I think that I have reached the optimal size. If it is any bigger you lose the white around the leaf and it over takes the center of the bowtie. The Canadian flag is a nice look on the bowtie.

what you charging for these Canuck ones is this just a decal or a actual replacement bowtie?
