You should primer the new one just like the old one! What is that on your front fender?
Funny you should say that as I am going to to the same thing to that passenger side where old Al clip a pole with it. rather then replace the 1/4.
Oh yea I had found a 68 GTS 383 car in the local salvage yard back then and put the GTS emblems on the front fender. Thought I was cooler with them on the front fenders. LMAO
