68 GT convertible project
Just a small project I did a few weeks ago.
Bought a reproduction horn cap last year but it was missing the silver paint ring on the inside. A little tape, a razor blade and some rallye wheel paint took care of that.
The cap was still pretty boring looking so I wanted to add something to make it look more interesting. I thought maybe a Fratzog emblem would look good on there. I saw some B-body 1/4 panel roof emblems at the Mopar Nats that looked promising but they weren't in the best shape and asking prices were a little high. Then I remembered that I had an SE emblem sitting around from a car I used to own. This emblem had broken mounting pins and a broken corner but the Frazog looked like it was in good shape.
So, I cut off the SE parts and sanded the edges leaving just the Fratzog section.
I drilled a hole in the center for mounting and used a grinder to shape the back side so it fit the contour of the horn cap. Finally, I sprayed black paint in the recessed areas, on the back and on the sides. I think it looks better then the plain cap.
