Very nice I need to get my Mason's emblem back on my car.. one of the mounting posts is broke. It was at the dealer where the ramchargers started building cars at the time they were there. (from what i read)

I love those old dealer emblems. Most were pot meral and pitted bad. Drill and tap for a machine screw?

You gonna get a "Gas, Grass or ***" sticker also?

yeah, thinking that or double back tape or something. it's really **** metal, and not much width.. would hate to break it drilling

This was on the Iverson Automotive site I had mentioned earlier. You could smooth the old one out and sand cast it in aluminum. They can be flat on the back so that is easy to mold. It would take a few tries because of the small details.

I found a N.O.S. one for my '64 Polara from a fellow I knew that worked in parts department back in the day. He had it in his tool box and it had never been on a car. I reattached it to the original holes drilled in the trunk lid. McManus Motors in nearby London, Ontario. One of the largest Dodge/Chrysler dealers in the area at the time. No longer in business.

We did too. We cast a lot of Hurst T handles.

Sadly NRA.... i own a few guns but i'm not one of those weird people that act like it's some accomplishment to put down a credit card and then treat it like a toy... i wish it were NHRA

Thought I had a set of headlight rings Mike, but I must have sold them since buying my '64.

 

[toolmanmike]

I have been buying parts like a crazy man the last week or so. The repop parts are mostly imported. The $300 headlight bezels I just bought might cost $450 in a few weeks. Most of the suppliers are out of them now so I pulled the trigger. Get them now or pay more later.

My seat belts just came in from SeatBeltsPlus. They look good. One step closer. One part closer. Now if I ever get my title. It came from Phoenix to Iowa via Queens, New York. Got to love the USPS.
