Thoughts on drilling holes thru good paint?

I would be hard pressed to cut the studs off of an emblem that is as hard to find as those! Drilling is not rocket science, and with your machinist background I'm sure you're pretty handy with the drill! Just set it up with the suggested tape method and drill em!! No problem!! Geof


While looking for the 68 Barracuda emblems I always see a butt load of those emblems on eBay.

Just about every emblem and many moldings on newer cars are attached with double sided tape.

If things look thick and ugly it's because the installer didn't care about the outcome.

That is the way I see it. Even MaMopar started doing it on some of the early 70s cars.
