Default Need help with emblems

How do you apply the stingray emblems on the sides? I had my 70 painted and the emblem studs are missing. Should I order another set(do they come with speed nuts) or should I use glue?

I don't know about your 70, but the new emblems I purchased for the side of my 79 when I had it painted came from GM with double sided tape on them.

There should be 4 pins ... and 4 holes in the fenders for each emblem. Were they filled in during paint prep by your painter? Sounds like the painter broke the studs off when they removed them.

Do you want to keep your car 'original?' If so, buy 4-pin emblems ... no speed nuts on original.
