[FC] emblems

[mopar at jbcs2.net]

Unfortunately,
something as small like these emblems once they are stripped of their
chrome chemically, all those pits will even be deeper. each individual pit
would have to be drilled even further to get the loose metal out, and
filled with metal and sanded.
Very labor intensive.
And a part that is easy to break.

It has been done.
Richard in Brazil actually made a new casting and melted aluminum cans to
create a new rear emblem for his 60 Corvair.

My suggestion is to find better used or NOS for these...........

guys
I have the original rectangular "chevrolet 95" emblems from the front doors
of my Rampside, but they are pitted badly and dark and discolored. My
thought was to have them re- plated but the shop says that this will still
allow the pits to show, the plating doesn't fill in low spots. Is there a
way to fill the pits and then smooth them before re-plating?
Thanx
Tim '61 Rampy
