How cool would it be to epoxy badges blue like the bowties? I don't mean the frames but the letters & numbers, perhaps black frames. I'm very tempted to do that for spares and options, just for something different. Near as I can tell epoxy is gloss, so either way it's a little off. Another reason to go blue

Lucky to have found this dude, he lives a few miles from me and can do any finish a guy likes, Ceracote, PC, chrome clone, etc. etc. Heck, he says he can make an emblem from scratch, it's quite a shop.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s of OEM identifications and part numbers, all written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
