Emblem Removal
I've stripped my 69 Cutlass of all trim and sending it into the shop to be repainted this week. I have noticed that the 442 does not have the trim that runs the width of the trunk. Personally I think it is a much cleaner look and am considering leaving mine off. I would think welding the holes would be the best route to go but am wondering if the heat will warp the metal and create waves. The same with the F and R Olds logo. I am not making a 442 Tribute but just think it's a cleaner look. Has anyone done this and if so how did you, and how did it come out. I just don't want to make a mess and regret doing it.
thanks,
Steve

Steve, I had my trunk done like that and it came out fine. FYI I know you're not making a 442 clone, but a 442 actually does have a very thin stainless molding at the bottom of the lid that's missing off a lot of cars.Fusick sells a repro and I think I have an original that's been straightened and polished here if you decide to go that route.
