"SUPER " Script attachment for my 1955

What is the best way to re-attach the "SUPER" script on the rear quarter panels of my 1955 Super ?

Several ways to skin this cat depending on whats left of the original script pins.......................Bob

The script and pins are still in very good shape. See attached picture.

I would use speed or pal or push nuts. See McMaster-Carr catalog..............Bob

Thanks Bob but......I didn't mention that there is no access to the back side of the area where the script is located . The 4 holes right above and forward of the right rear tire.

Looks like you may have to take out the rear seat and remove the side trim panel, maybe the vent reveal trim as well. Unless you have access inside the trunk. Like the color combo btw. More pics when get a chance.

The script was originally held in by friction with small retainers that snapped in the holes. Even if you find the retainers I personally don't like the ease with which the script can be removed by anyone at anyplace. I had the same access problem some trim pieces. I use a 3/4" hole saw to gain access to the back of the fender and used an extension to screw on the pal nuts. I closed the holes with dum dum and finger clip type hole plugs. interior trim hides your work. Just one way to skin this cat..............Bob

If the studs on the medallions are round they might have it...if flattened like the ones on the B_U_I_C_K on the hood, then you need to reuse the old ones or find some used ones.

Thank you Bob and Willie and Paul. I checked out restoration specialties and sent them an email explaining what I am trying to do here. This is one of my "minor" projects that I am working on with the 55. Along with Getting the front seat redone, (original black and red material), new carpet, (Daytona Weave), motor mounts, remove oil pan and clean up. Getting ready for the World of Wheels show in Chicago in March, Buick Nationals in St. Louis, and regional in Green Bay.

Thanks again. Tony M

Locking the script on with some form of speed nut is a possibility but in my opinion it should not be done to prevent someone from trying to steal it. If it's locked on it will surely break as they try to pry it off. Then you'll have body damage and a broken script too. Those plastic anchors have held on my 56 Super scripts all these years, and if there is a little more security needed, I would use a dab of silicone adhesive in the anchors. Just my opinion.

Thanks John. Another good way to skin this cat. All easy to get parts also.
