    It's not pristine, but hopefully it will serve your needs. :)

    Yes it is great. Right now it say LTD COUNTRY SQUIRE in black goop or adhesive, it looks bad. Just to find one is a win win. No one has them, 3 places got back to me, they have older emblems but dont seem to carry the newer model ones.

    That Suzuki is awesome!!! I love a vintage 4cylinder bike. They just look so much cooler than a v-twin and you can never go wrong with a dirt bike. ANYWAYS... back to the subject

    Don't worry. He doesen't have to be that accurate shooting nukes. Besides, he probably dropped his rifle at John Wayne's museum and shot the ceiling just in front of the John wearing hot pants portrait

    No nukes.....don't like collateral damage. We'll just send a Hellfire thru his apartment window.

    So I received the badge in the mail, thanks Steve. I removed all the glue adhesive from the woodgrain. There are 2 holes to secure the badge but the badge itself has only one post on it. I am thinking about using a wooden dowel to put in the hole and hot glue it to the back of the badge where their is an indent hole where the post use to be. Does anyone know what is the best glue/adhesive to use? Also how do I keep pressure on the badge as the adhesive cures, blue tape or should I use pressure via some 2 x 4 contraption I can push against the badge wedged against the garage wall. Its probably alot easier then im thinking but having some sort of plan if it isnt helps. Thanks IMG_20180718_1110260_rewind.jpg IMG_20180718_1203561_rewind.jpg IMG_20180718_1204353_rewind.jpg

    I could be wrong but i think that car manufacturers use some kind of double sided tape. I believe that’s the residue you cleaned off. I would stay away from any liquid or paste type adhesive. It may not agree with your paint or vinyl. “3m” makes pretty decent products and I’d be surprised if they didn’t make something for your specific need. The tape can be cut to fit with an exacto blade and around the badge and the one peg. I wouldn’t worry about the other peg. Or Maybe as you said, a dowel or even a toothpick stuck through the tape?! Simply for alignment purposes?! Good luck! Take pictures. Cool checkered floor!:thumbs2:

    You're very welcome!

    I agree with Grizz, 3M double sided adhesive would be the way I would probably go. Make sure it's level and stick it on, because as I remember you don't get time to reposition - when it's stuck it's stuck. Even your local parts store should have an adhesive tape that would work. At that point, no need to tape or apply pressure, just firm even pressure across the badge after you stick it, and you are good to go.

    Thanks Grizz, im gonna use 3M molding tape. It will take awhile to cut it all out but watching some videos of guys using all kinds of liquid adhesives and it squirting out making it look messyy and unprofessional, I think the extra time doing it correctly will be worth it. Thanks for the suggestion. That garage was for my yellow vette but the wagon doesnt really fit in the other garage so it gets the nice garage now lol.
