Re: Small touch, what do you think?

I like it... but I'm biased too...lol




I used a 78 fender emblem, As when I ordered 2 new badges for the repaint, I broke one so I made that out of it. The sun thingy is covering a dent. I broke off the studs and filled the back in with epoxy and filed it flat on the back and then used double sided tape to stick it onto the band.

Free is good! With a little clean up it will look awesome.

Re: Small touch, what do you think?

im gonna do it. i repainted the black outline on the "chevrolet" emblem thats stock on the band. i might try to pull it apart and tap the dents out before i put it on the truck but i cont want to mess it up more by taking it apart.
