Grille Emblem OEM GM
As many of you can tell I do enjoy the smallest details.
Just a tip for those doing a 66. I can never fault things made by Trim Parts. There quality and originality are really top notch for most of the things I have purchased. In fact there Grille emblem is really really nice. Too nice in fact! lol. Pictured below in the last picture on the right is the aftermarket emblem. There actually chrome plated and honestly look beautiful. On the left is original off my car. I sanded the flat areas of the SS and 396 to take out most of the pitting. It was then sent off for re anodizing. Got it back today. The anodizing is much less flashy than chrome and I really like that original dulled down look.
Picture 1, as restored by the anodizing shop.
Picture 2, tedious taping for the white paint in the SS. I had already painted the black at this point, but the same process.
Picture 3 Left original restored, Right Aftermarket.
