Bought this emblem to do a custom radiator hold down top plate. Just wanted to know what kind of car this came from? And how would i go about polishing, restoring and repainting the colors on this piece to make it almost like brand new?
That makes sense haha at first i thought it was a weird looking chevy bow-tie hahahaha just kidding lol where would a part number be at on this tri- shield emblem?
You can remove the grey plastic holding the 3 transparent plastic pieces in place (from the rear). Buy correct colors and repaint. Done. Patrick
Okay, that sounds like a plan. What about the thick clear piece that is in front of the colors? Am i able to fix the crack in there or no?
Looks a lot like the ones 67 wildcats had on trunk also might have a different size maybe ?? This is pictured is on my 61 It’s a wider one it had no color left I painted it with model paint
Yes just testors or a similar brand There is a old time model store near my work Hundreds of paints The white and blue were fairly easy to pick The red I spent a hour going thru different shades , now I’m not sure how close I picked to orig but I was happy with the shades I picked And yes lots of patience as it takes a few coats to cover
Sorry no I dont have the paints any more. I just chose a dark blue and then went for more of a ruby red over bright or orange shade of red
That's a sought after emblem. I've seen lots on cars in the U Pull It, that had been pried off by a vandal and destroyed.
