Blackhawk Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 https://koniksklassiks.com/product/71-monte-hood-emblem-assembly-1654/ Since these may no longer be available, has anybody restored their original emblem? The plating and metal on mine are good, but the paint under the clear plastic has faded. I bet a heat gun could loosen the adhesive without distorting the plastic.

1970mcss Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 That would be an interesting project. I have my original but never thought about restoring it. Might be another winter project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Plastic ???? The original emblem on Montelishi is chromed pot metal. (Still not sure how a '71 emblem found it's way onto a '70 grill.) But all the red had faded off. The repro parts are all plastic now, but not that long ago they were still metal. Must be a big demand for them ???

Must be a big demand for them ??? On my 71 emblem the red is covered by a clear plastic cover, keeping you from repainting it. I assume the new stuff is still pot metal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some who have successfully removed the clear plastic insert, repainted it and reinstalled the plastic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
