Looking for grille emblem for 65 Belvedere 1

I bought one from Charlie Quarter, but it was made from a mold that was too small. Charlie now realizes the problem. I then bought a second (he said it wasn't perfect) from Emblemagic for more money then Charlie's, but it was terrible. They told me it would be Aug 09 before they had anymore. Any ideas what I can do?

Hello Gene,
I am sorry to hear of your grille emblem problems with Charlie. I remember that there was a vendor at the 3/01/08 Indy Chrysler Swap Meet at the Indy Fairgrounds that had repro 1965 Grille Emblems FOR SALE. This is a long shot, but you might contact Indy Racing Heads and ask for a list and phone numbers of the vendors from this years swap meet. You might be able to track this vendor down from that vendor list.

Another thought... do you have the original emblem that was with your grille ? I did and I sent it to Charlie and he refurbished it with an overlay then sprayed clear over it. It came out great and it fit perfectly.

Good Luck,

Phil

I have bought from this guy and seen his items at a few Mopar shows..I was very happy with the items I bought from him, including a grille emblem. Not sure if it is the same guy you bought from??

If you need one to restore, I have one packed away somewhere.

Thanks to both of you, and Hi Phil. I contacted Charlie and he is going to refurbish my original.
