Headed to the parts store tonight, I'll let you know. I did find one emblem had small soft washers on the studs, going to have to come up with something there. I think to help from pulling to hard on the stud and bending the emblem.

Here's the washer/grommet. They are rubber. Not sure if they are original or not but seems like a good idea. Maybe to help keep water out of the inside?
I think I'm going to black it out. The black AC condenser will help some. Should help the grill pop a little more having black behind it. Does anyone have a picture for reference on the black out?

Hey,
Your car looks great. I'm also using the same a/c kit and have the mopar performance top pans on my 440 with 440 source alum heads. I'm concerned that I may run into the same fit problem as you did, I havnt drilled the holes in the firewall yet, do you have any advice so I can avoid that problem? thanks

When I took mine off they were held in with thread cutting nuts with butyl as a sealer. Sometimes it gets hard and leaves little discs like what you have.
These were on the emblem and on the outside of the car.
Got my radiator painted last night, used Eastwoods radiator paint in a fiz can.
So the black out is sprayed on after the fenders are installed 440+6?
Dean I think you will be ok. I believe the stealth heads are the same physical size as the OEMs. The trick flows were about .875 taller than the OEMs, I believe this caused the problem.
I'm sure they where, can't see them painting them individually.
Some originals I have seen look pretty sloppy with over spray, maybes someone has better pics of originals.

hmmm...not what I was expecting. I have a '71, and it seems to have these little cone shaped sleeves over the pins on the back of the GTX emblems.

I'm not sure about what I found on my car Steve. It had been painted 2 times since the original paint so anything is possible.
Anyone got a number or code for the darker blue (B7?) used on the dash & steering wheel?

Is that something you made or a stock part?
I might like a paper traced template of one or both of those if there's a difference?
I made it, want one?

If you'd mail me a paper tracing of them, it would be cheap like a letter stamp.

So it's not a stock part? Just curious and don't remember if you mentioned before, but why are you blanking the vents, got a/c? or just gonna rely on rolling down the windows?
