New Bowtie Chevy Emblem for a '73 Grille - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Another option is to do something similar to the newer emblems. They have basically vinyl graphic type stickers with clear plastic coatings over them to protect them.

I made a replacement emblem for a friends 90 IROC that you can not get the correct emblem for a few years ago.

Aluminum backing plate, vinyl graphic and a thick layer of clear poly.

My truck needs a new insert too. I will put the filler section of the emblem into AutoCAD and do a test print to make sure it is the right shape.

I don't have access to the milling machine or vinyl graphic cutter any longer so this time around I will have to do it by hand.

Good winter project to add to the list.
