Removing trim tag from Z/28
« on: March 02, 2010, 08:40:09 PM »
Recently I bought a '68 Z/28.......a very rusty/butchered example. Hopefully in the next few months I will be purchasing some steel and am looking at having the car dipped/stripped..................What is the ettiquette for removal of the tag? Not removing it is not an option(novice opinion)I believe, as it has a rather large piece of rust next to it where the join is that will need to be repaired.

Opinions please.

Jim

Straighten the rivets from behind, gently push it off. Take photos first to establish why it had to be done.

I would not worry about it; nothing valuable on a '68 tag.
Learning more and more about less and less...

x2 be careful on the rivets and they can be reused and apply a small dab of sealant and it will look just as it came from the factory
