Are the GT side fender emblems attached with pins or just adhesive? Has anyone done this yet? Is it easy? Will I have to fill any pin holes? I am thinking of putting the running pony emblems.
how do the ponys fit? do they have the pins? the pony might fit over the holes left by the GT emblems. if they pony has pins that dont fit the GT pins, cut them off and just put the emblem over the old GT holes. if you are concerned about moisture collecting behind it, put a dab of seam sealer over the holes before you put the pony emblem on. then you dont have to weld and repaint.
I took my factory GT emblems off some time ago, and installed 1968 GT emblems in there place. The entire switch out took less than 20 min. Take a credit card type piece of plastic and slide it under the GT emblem as you slowly pull the emblem away from the car. The factory emblems are not very rigid, so take a little care with them. I had no problem at all removing them and actually have them stored for safe keeping. This method of removal, did not harm the paint at all.
If interested the 1968 GT emblem are metal, that I installed just like the original. The mounting pins were removed and 3M tape used to afix them to the car. I have had them on now for almost a year and no problems. They look great and really go with the car.
