1970 Super Bee Rear Finish Panel Emblem

[rlem1977]

I have a question...

Is the Super Bee emblem on the rear finish panel on the 1970 model integral to the finish panel, or is it a separate emblem?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

mines on the finish panel

I think he's asking if it's a separate part or if it's cast into the panel. I believe it's riveted on.

Precisely, thanks. I have not found anyone selling just the emblem for 1970 rear panel. That's what prompted my question. My '70 has a finish panel w/o the emblem, but there are no holes that indicate one was once there.

The emblems pins were mashed to be more flush. Your panel is not an original Super bee panel. It came off a "Coronet 440" model. Super bee finish panel will also have a red painted highlight pinstrip around the outer edge of the panel.

That makes sense. I’ll have to figure out solution. These finish panels are not common and are expensive when available. Thanks again.

Are these original or repos? If they are repo, how are they?

They are reproduction and are very nice.

How did they mash them on I wonder. I have 2 panels. One that’s mashed on then one that has been restored. I picked up a nos emblem and the pins look soft like it indeed needs to be smashed but how did they accomplish this with no damage to the panel

The emblem is supported on the press' "anvil"; the panel just 'sits' over its' pins. The press' punch crushes the pins and the force transfers through the emblem to the anvil; panel only gets the small amount of pinch-force from the displaced pins' metal, almost none of the total crush force

Who would do this for me?

I hope this can help. I got my Charger arrow finish panel emblem from Layson's (very nice part, thank you!). However, it had half-inch long mounting posts that obstructed my Charger 500 finish panel from installing properly. The original emblems, as mentioned, were riveted on and mashed down. Even after I tried installing the emblem with 3 PAL nuts and cut them down to just above the nuts, the finish panel was still being obstructed. So, I cut my emblem's mounting posts down until they only protruded about an 1/8" on the inside, and used some washers and J-B Weld to mount the emblem permanently. Here's my solution:

Can someone post a photo of the red pinstripe?
