Attaching fender emblems? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I dont think I can reattach the fender emblems on my 68 with the fenders installed. How have you "attached" them Glue, epoxy douple sided tape or what.
Thanks
Dave

The correct way would be to pull the inner fender wells out the get to the studs but you can use double sided tape.

You can use a barrel clip. Maybe some of the venders carry them. If not check with your local auto paint and body store.

Personally, i've always used 3M emblim adhesive. Never had a problem yet.

NAPA carries barrel clips--have them on my fender badges.

I will do some checking on the barrel clips. The inner fenders are out but there is just not quite enough room to get in there. I had left the inner fenders off because I thought there was more room but it is tight.
Thanks
