[FC] emblems

[hallgrenn at aol.com]

The late Mike Harrison did what I thought was an elegant job of mounting his emblems on his Corv8.  As I remember it he used thin white plastic sheet cut to match the outline of each emblem and just a little larger so they became a backdrop and shield to the emblem so it couldn't "work" in the attachment holes.  They may not have been stock but they looked  first class on his teal paint job.  You could use different color plastic on different paint jobs to complement the color.

My current '61 Rampy has the repro "corvair 95" ones from Clarks. ( handle 
ently they are soft)I have restored 4 corvairs and when I was in the 
disassembly" phase on the first one, I noticed that there was always rust 
ssociated with the holes Chevy used to mount the chrome badges.  I took extra 
recautions to prevent that when I had the repaint done and reinstalled the 
hrome parts. That first one had to be redone after 5 years ( learning from 
oing) and when I took it apart again there was still rust despite my 
fforts.Ever since then I simply grind off the pins and glue the badges on in 
heir appropriate locations.Tim Werner '61 Rampy
