It appears that Yenko removed the SS emblems and attached the other emblems in the same manner as with our Camaro.
[/ QUOTE ] If I recall correctly, aren't a Nova's SS emblems riveted onto the tail panel trim with regular old horizontal side by side rivets? If this is the case, did Yenko utilize the two existing holes and drill only two more, placing the crest and 427 side by side, or is the SS emblem riveted in the staggered configuration of a 69 Camaro tail pan emblem's pins? When you say it's like our Camaro it makes me think the crest and 427 were staggered like it too, am I correct in this assumption? Also, any ideas as to what Yenko held the emblems on with, as I'm sure he didn't have the capability to rivet them as Chevrolet did, but pins with nuts on the back would hardly allow the tail pan trim to be remounted to the body without drilling extra holes for them too. I assume Yenko removed the entire tail pan, drilled out the rivets on the SS emblem, replaced them in some manner with his crest and 427, and then reinstalled the tail panel trim. Or maybe he used the old wood chisel method of removing the SS emblem, and drilled through the tail panel trim and tail panel in one clean shot, bolting the emblems in place with speed nuts. Can someone help me out here, I'd like a definitive answer as to how these SS Novas were converted into sYc cars, I suppose I'm not the only one either. Tom, if you can post a pic of the backside of the original tail panel trim and the holes in the tail pan itself that would be worth a thousand words. Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this subject.
