      oh, also just checked out the first pic more. The 5.0 badges should be a bit lower. There is a specific measurement that should be used, but I don't remember it off the top of my head. Other than that, good score! and can't wait to see the engine bay.

      Welcome!

      Paint looks great! Definately need to replace those badges though.

      I told ya those badges would get pick up upon quick, lol

      No worries, EASY fix.


      The rearward edge of the emblem should be 2 and 1/8" from the crack between the door and the fender, and the bottom of the emblem should be 1 and a 1/2" from the top of the beltline molding.

      People do strange things....they were definitely moved at one point. They are just double sided taped on, so anything could have happened.
