I picked up this medallion at Carlisle for a few bucks last summer, just because I wanted it for no particular reason. I have no idea of the year or anything else. It's just something shiny that caught my eye....kinda like what a crow or magpie does! :realcrazy:

So, if someone NEEDS it for their car, it's yours for free.

If someone just wants to have it for no particular reason or to resell for a massive profit, it's yours for $500. :mad:

69 Chrysler 300 door panel emblem. I notice the nibs are ground off.

Ahhh....door emblems. Thanks.

Yes, the nibs (studs) are short, and they're "twisted off" from the Pal nut vs. being ground off. I had the same problem with emblems I found for my car. I solved it by carefully grinding the remains of the nibs to flatness with a Dremel, then roughing up the tops of flatheads to adhere with JB.

Nice! Yes, I've come up with inventive ways of using emblems with missing nibs in the past. The nicer emblems always seem damaged...isn't that the way, it seem?

Nice JB weld solution
 
Nice JB weld solution

Attention, attention! DON'T use the JB Kwik Weld I show in the picture. A day after I installed the emblems onto the door panels, the tension from the padding and skin popped one of the emblems clean off the screws. I redid the job using regular JB, which is much stronger than Kwik, and it's held for six months and probably will forever. Unless a passenger does something stooopid....

and dont try to weld, solder, or braze it.....They are pot metal which melts around 300º...soldering is 700º, brazing is 900º and welding would be much higher.

That's for sure. Pot metal is an outstanding material to inexpensively make highly detailed castings of car parts, toys, internal parts of bigger machines, etc. But ya can't fix it, except with epoxy!
