One of the neat toys that came in the treasure trove from Jim Carter was
a set of stickers to dress up the front name plate/medallion on the old '51
Chevy. The truck needs a motor, brakes and a laundry list of other items, but
I'm fairly bustin' to install those silly stickers. After all, they do
improve the curbside performance!
I would like to remove the plate (nondestructively, come on you guys!) to
install the stickers on the bench and then reinstall the plate with this neat
rubber gasket that I picked up at Golden State some months ago.
A quick look up under the hood failed to disclose a simple way to get
this medallion off. The fixings are hidden behind the hood latch plate
assembly. Does this need to be removed to get at the fixings? What sort of
fixings hold the name plate? Blindly groping behind the latch plate with my
fingers, they felt almost like sheetmetal nuts of perhaps even those awful
single use push on retainers. Chevy wouldn't have done that to us would they?
