Well the emblems look good. I found the emblem for the side scoop at the last minute and figured you needed it more than me, so threw it in at no charge. I remember removing the paint many years ago and then tucked it away with my '64 442 emblems. Hope you are happy with them. BTW: the paint for the emblems that match the best are made by Testors. The three spray can colors you need are Model Masters (1) Hugger Orange (2) Grabber Orange and (3) Italian Red. I bought them on-line from Rider's Hobby Shop in Grand Rapids, MI. Paid around $4 per 3oz spray can. Plenty of paint to do all emblems plus many more. You need to spray them with clear coat at the end. It's a tedious process, taping off two of the numbers then spray one color. Let dry, then tape that number off, spray the next color. I applied tape to the whole emblem and cut out the numbers first. This keeps the number from being covered in paint. Good luck. Keep the posts coming on your progress.

Keener, this was a big surprise my wife actually got these with out me knowing I showed her them sent you a pm and she some how did the rest.
Thank you very much I will look into the paint a small part of me likes the look of the faded paint but I am sure it will be done before I put them on the car.
Winter seems to be on its way I might not get as much done as I intended before I drag her home

Welded up most of the trunk today decided not to glue it down and ran straight beads around the butt of the seams
Also I am getting ready to work on making a patch section for the rear quarter was wondering if there might be a interest in the heal section of the front fenders left and right I believe right side is nice but the left would need mild work

Yes I wished they would do quarter patches too maybe the demand is too little ?
What's funny is the left quarter isn't rotted at all just banged up. when I look at it there was no reason for the bondo to be so thick ,it could of easily been 1/4 inch thick to hide most of it . I know there is bondo where the left side scoop will go hopefully not as thick Right quarter is rotted tho
Yes progress is good I think the car has wore out her welcome at work a bit so I will bring it home for the winter and take it back in the spring
