Default Corvette Lettering ??

How do I remove the letters that spell out CORVETTE on the rear of a '77, under the luggage rack?

Thanks

Larry

They are bolted to the bumper with three real cheesy nuts. Some times you have to remove a bracket to reach the center nut. If the studs are stripped, have a friend pull on the emblem while you turn the nuts.

Crap ...and thanks!

I had my emblem fall off (someone appeared to have crazy glued it on or something bubba-licious) and I am getting ready to put the replacement emblem back on.

Fair assessment that you'll probably have to drop the spare tire carrier as well (both parts)?

Brian.

Thanks Bill. I will give it a shot.

I just don't want to mess up the paint under the letters!

Brian,

Thanks for the info. I hope I don't have to drop the spare tire carrier. Right now, I don't have a spare tire takeing up the room.
