Does anyone know of any place that sells templates for emblems, rear trim and rear ss badge. I put new front fenders and rear tail panel on my 69 but there are no holes to mount these items. Nervous about drilling holes dont want crooked emblems.Thanks in advance.

Find some old trim that's no longer usable or something that's pitted in need of repair and use those pieces for patterns or templates: for example the cast or potmetal rear SS396 emblem using an old one carefully brake off the studs on the back side that the barrel nuts attaches to, then from the back side take a drill with the correct bit the size of the stud or one size smaller and drill the emblem out where the attaching studs once were, then you can proceed to the placement of the part and use it as as pilot or guide. I hope this helps or sparks another idea. Thanks
