c3 emblems
I was looking from under the nose of my 77 to see how the emblem is held in. It looks like two pointed posts come through but there is no fastners that hold it in. Does anyone know how this is held in. I pushed up from underneath and then grabbed from above. It looks like I could probably wiggle it off, but am a little nervous about getting it back on securely. Also does anyone know what testors paint color matches the red, black and white ....Thanks

Thanks for the reply, that is what it looks like but doesn't that seem to be a weak solution back in 1977. I am picturing the designers working on Chevrolets American muscle car and saying hey, why don't we just forget nuts and bolts and get some tape and stick it on.......

My '76 has what we call 'Barrell Clips'.
The B/C was inserted through the drilled hole in the body and secured itself by 'barb's' to keep it from sliding back out.
Once in postion, the 'posts' of the emblem would be pressed into the B/C and internal barbs would secure the emblem to the body.

I don't know what part of Canada you are from but we have used a company out West called Au-Ve-Co or now I see the name is Auveco. http://www.auveco.com/
Their website calls them 'Tubular Nuts'. Maybe Napa or Bumper to Bumper might carry the line.
Good luck Canuck
