Default Deck Emblem Question

Every once in a while someone comes along with a really stupid question.

Today it's my turn (again).

How in the HECK do you put a rear deck emblem (in this case on a 65)
with the car altogether? From underneath the car you can barely SEE the nuts holding it on and everything in the WORLD is in the way! Gas tank, you name it.

Do you just need long REALLY skinny arms or what?

Where is Manute Bol when you really need him?

Default your out of luck

Manute Bol was in a car accident @ 2 months ago. He was ejected from a taxi that was involved in a MVA. Unfortunately he sustained a head injury and is in a coma (this really is true). As to how to remove the emblem - I don't know either.

There was a guy named Shawn Bradley (used to play for the Philadelphia 76ers) who could easily reach it however.

If you take the rear panel off, it is real easy to get your hand up there to reach the nuts.

hmmm .... the rear panel.

Thats the one the exahust tips go thru, right?

I thought that came off, studying the assembly guide after I posted this.

I have taken very little apart on my car.

I'll try that .... should have known it would be simple!

Thanks!
