1965 Cutlass Question????????

[imported_ktm858]

I am in the process of doing a paint job on a 65 Cutlass. Can someone tell me how you would get the Cutlass emblem off of the fenders and also the chrome moulding? I tried taking the inner fender out and I still cant get my hand in there to get it out! Is there a trick to getting it out?

You'll probably have to loosen the bottom edge of the fender to have enough room to work in there. Then you'll probably encounter seized bolts that will break when you try to remove them <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />.

A trick I've used to remove scripts when I have better ones to replace with, is to drive a putty knife behind the script and tap with a hammer. This shears the mounting stud. Then use a barrel clip to attach the new script.

On the moulding, you probably have no choice but to go from behind and remove the mounting clip nuts. The nuts are usually covered with sealer so you'll have to scrape that off to get the socket on.

Any chance you have a young'un with small hands who can get behind there?
