    1967 Big Buick One day at a time.

    67BEACC3-8DE5-443D-BDC4-26A7618FD861.jpeg Ok I plan on building a lot of 20 around Mid January if anyone is interested the price was $365 but $310 shipped for board members. Lower 48 states anyone outside of that will pay extra shipping fees

    Built out of metal as a replacement to fill the void on our front bumpers.
    These are all hand made and weigh around 8 oz. The tri shield emblems are brand new aftermarket.

    If interested, post here and I’ll keep this up to date when I start.

    No money down is necessary. Once lot is finished I’ll post here.

    Thanks

    I looked into using a 70 riviera emblem for these, but locating them is like hens teeth so I went with this other emblem instead.

    Also there is no chrome on the original.

    I figure I should update this thread. At the end January I caught that covid bug and it knocked me on my arse.

    So the month of February was unproductive and now that I’m back in shop, I’ll be starting to work on them in between my customers cars. I’m just finishing up on 5 of them right now and three are spoken for, so I’ll post pics of finished products again soon.

    So if interested let me know. Thanks

    Great work! Nice craftsmanship. Can you imagine a 20-year-old guy on the assembly line 50 years ago thinking -- I should grab a box of these so I can supplement my retirement!

    I can try but you’d have to send me a tracing of the tri-shield emblem for size.

    I use an aftermarket emblem with chrome surround, unlike original.
