Nice piece for a great Chevy Donnie!!! If Bobb put them on with posts, I would put it on the same way. Did you see any evidence with the original trunk lid?

P.S. another thot.... if Bobb had license plate frames in '69 you could go that route if it just <span style="font-size: 17pt"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">KILLS</span></span></span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img] you to drill the holes. Be brave and GOOD LUCK! Pls post pix of your finishing touches on your L78! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

O.K. Thanks for the help looks like i'll be getting the drill out.

2nd owner told me he took the Bobb emblem off the tail panel when he did one of his 4 repaints.
I found this during tare down.

Sam, I did that so if I ever got a Bobb emblem I could match up the pin width.
all I had to go on was the 2nd owner saying it came from Bobb.

I now have paper work to back that up.

Donnie,

If you ever want to remove the emblem in the future, it has to be in the absolute easiest place to repair on the car.

I'd put it on and wear it proudly.

Phil Woj.
