Hood ornament and sail panel badges- to stay or go?

[joesregalproject]

Now that I've let it go for a week or so, I'm coming around to it. If I want I can always drill the fiberglass back out, but I don't think I will. I kinda like it clean. Now to get around to that chrome rocker moulding...

Well, as long as you didn't break them then you can always put them back on after you paint. Just two less things to work around. Just don't lose them! I can only find one of mine... 😳

I like your car without badges anyways. Next time I'm at the pic a part yard (God knows when that'll be) I'll grab you one if I see it. I know the guy he give me badges and stupid little crap like that for free.

Nah, I know it's around here somewhere. I'll find it eventually. Thanks though.
As far as emblems, I plan to put a handful back on but nothing on the sides. I know these cars are aerodynamic as brick houses but I like the thought of keeping the sides a little smoother. I'm going to do an arrangement on the trunk above the taillights. I still want people to know this is a Buick Regal and not a GN or a Monte Carlo/Cutlass when they look at it.

Okay, let me know if you want that badge later on. As for badges on my car, I'm still gonna put the small buick letters on the trunk lid on the passenger side, and I'm gonna put the regal badges on the sides, although I don't think I'll be putting the limited badges back on. Quick question, is this the tach you have on your car or is your tach bigger?

I'm pretty sure that's the same one.

Thanks, I ask because the tach I'm looking at is also 3 3/4 (although different design), and I want to make sure its the right size before I drop $150 on it.
