Re: chrome z28 emblems You might try RK Sport... I think they have them.
I have the 70-74 emblems on my car. You can get those from any company that specializes in 1st gen restoration. I think they look worlds better than the 4th gen emblems. They look very much like my avitar.
Check my website to see them on the car.
Good luck

Grille emblem, P/N EM1140

Fender emblems, P/N EM1213

Rear Z28 decal, P/N EM1231

On the fender emblems, I cut the studs off with a Dremel tool because I didn't want to drill the fenders in case I ever wanted to go back to stock. I bought the 3M heavy duty emblem tape at an automotive paint supply shop. It's just double-sided tape, so I cleaned the back of the emblems with rubbing alcohol and applied the tape to the emblems first, trimming the excess with a new Xacto blade.
Then I washed the fender area really good, marked the area with masking tape to get a nice alignment as far as consistent height from side to side, and to get it centered between the wheel well and the fender/door crease. Then I went over the area with the alcohol, let that dry, and carefully applied the emblem. I've had these on since September, 2001, and they are still firmly attached.
On the hatch lid, I used the '72-'73 chrome foil body decal because I didn't want to try to mangle one of the metal emblems to try and fit the curvature of the the hatch...and I wanted to put all of the emblems on the '99 exactly where they were placed on a '70 Z28. Placing them under the right tail light almost seems like hiding them to me.
