Easiest/Safest way to remove stock emblems I want to replace my stock SS badges with some high polished ones and I'm sure there is more to it than simply pulling them off, exactly what though?
and any sources for some nice badges would be appreciated...

A bit off topic but how do you attatch the retro 69 style emblems. I noticed that they have prong type of things on the back that slide into older style cars. Any suggestions.

I cut the prongs of with a dremel and then grinded them flush. The also have a slight curve in them that you will have to straighten. I put it in a couple of towels and SLIGHTY tapped it. Whenever you attach the emblems to the car be sure to puch A LOT of masking tape over it to hold it in place for about 24 hours. I learned that the hard way, But it all turned out good.
