() Date: July 24, 2022 05:18AM Could you take a 427 one and modify it? 66 crown v8 Re: 65 V8 Coupe w/Buick 215 - Racecar to Streetcar Build ![]() Posted by:

The OEM 427 is metal with raised numbers and letters. Therefore, I'm guessing that modifying it would be near impossible. I did find a company that has the capability to custom fabricate a metal emblem with raised numbers and letters identical to the 427 model but with 215 for the numbers but they refused to make it without a copyright release from GM. I wrote a letter to GM asking for permission but have never received a response. Dean F.

() Date: August 11, 2022 12:31PM Keeping the high point of the body line straight is much more difficult than many might imagine. Fixing it after the car is painted is even more difficult, so it is good that the shop is paying attention to it now. 1962 95 F.C.

() Date: August 17, 2022 08:30AM Thanks everyone! The color is Bright Teal Metallic. Same as the James Law 63 Rampside. I really like the color because it can look bluer or greener depending upon the light. ![]() Dean F.
