That was easy, so the bow tie on the trunk is no more too. The gold color just does not go with the car..
A little trick I use when de-badging. Fishing line. Cuts right through the tape, gives a grip for just peeling of the remainder with a blow dryer. No muss no fuss and no pry tool slipping and scratching paint<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o:p></o:p>

I keep tellin ya Space. MCF stands for Mustang Cobra Forum.
Seriously, no desire to buy a Mustang. Everybody and their brother has a Mustang around town here. And just my preference, but I'd rather stay in the GM family. Nothing personal against anyone who owns a `stang or a Mopar.

Pry tool was a 3M applicator thingy normally used to apply decals. The GM chiclets popped right off on a warm day. For the bow tie I used dental floss doubled over several times (I don't fish but knew of the fishing line method). Saw through the side bars and it twisted right off.

Got my eyes on those block letters on the trunk, thinking they might go next..

Sadly due to lack of driving I put my Monte on the battery tender. I might be taking it to a show on Sunday but it's only supposed to be 50 degrees out - not ideal car show weather.

I was missing <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<st1:City w:st="on">Chicago</st1:City></st1:place> until I read 50 during the day. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seattle</st1:place></st1:City> 38 at night, 67 in the day. Until the rains come, I will love this weather. Still beats shoveling.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o:p></o:p>

I bolted the hood down and installed the passenger side skirt. Remove a few dents. Aligned the drivers door. That's about it.
