Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Got a really nice set of "CST" original badges so I thinking of leaving the patina look are masking and painting the black area again. What do you think?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Hey Shawn, just curious. So this is as opposed to going with fresh repops? If so, and you're deciding to keep the patina look of the truck, why not leave the original emblems in the current condition? Ya know, "overall patina look".

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
The details are why makes it fun, plus its the details that set these trucks apart. Its also the cheaper part of the build, for me
That's just one more reason to have a patina truck You might say I'm so efficient that I don't even let overspray go to waste Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Thanks Mike, I have been trying to find a nice non pitted set for over a year. Then last month for my birthday my wife bough me a set of repops then you listed these and I'm glad I was at the right place at the right time. Just can't beat the quality of the the originals and you would never know until you compare them to some repops.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Well my 40+ year old speedo cable took a dump this morning on the way to work. Luckily I was able to order one from Autozone for 10.99. Can't beat that price. Pics to follow soon
