Re: IML: How to take apart '67 hood ornament?

["Edward Tiede" <e_tiede@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

     Like to add my experience about 67 hood ornaments.  Many years ago 
while having work done on my convertible the mechanic forgot to close the 
hood when raising the car on the lift.  A overhead fan hit the ornament and 
popped the ring and emblem out.  We found the ring but not the emblem.  The 
ring came out from the front.  Not knowing then what a know now about 
reproduction emblems I fixed it buy having to imperial falcon emblems from a 
tail liight gold plated and adhered to a clear disc of plexiglass and 
snapped back in place in the ornament with the retaining ring.
