Keep body lettering or not??

Leave 'em on!

Unless you go Restomod!

I'd put Chevy on the hood and Camaro on the trunk. That would confuse the hell out of them.

I am a fan of Ford on the hood, no side badges.

Less holes to start rust.

I had the holes in the hood filled during the body work stage... then decided to use 3M tape to put the F O R D letters on (but they could be taken off anytime). Also had the holes for the quarter trim filled (and deleted the quarter trim). Looking back, I wish I had all the trim holes filled- you can always mount any emblems you decide you want with 3M tape (as they do on late model cars).

Of course, on my "new" cars, I shave all the emblems off...

Leave em on and use spray wax

Thanks for all the replies on this. I think I am somwhere in the middle. I am going to do the turn signal hood stripes, so I will delete the letters on the hood for a clean look. Not a hugh fan of the block letters on the fenders so I think I will delete those as well. I think the ponies will stay. Since I am on the fence about the block letters on the trunk, I like the tape idea, as I hadn't thought of that, so if I fill the holes I can live with the letters for a while, then take them off if I dont like the looks.

On another note, I have looked at a million pics and read a million opinions on the rocker trim. I like the delete on a fastback, but not so sure on the coupe. I think for the coupe the trim might make the side profile more slim and have the opposite affect without it. On the the flip side I think the profile appearence also has alot to do with color, ie the darker the color the more slim the look. The car is an almost white diamond blue now but is about to be a very dark blue.
