How do I remove the emblem from a 67 mustang gas cap?

[chipndales_boy]

I am building a super snake tribute car and I want to put the shelby GT500 sticker on my stock gas cap to give it the shelby look. This all looks possible but first I have to safely remove the original pony coral emblem. Does anyone know how to remove one of these emblems without cracking or destroying the cap? I know I can buy a shelby gas cap and many aluminum shelby after market gas caps...I do not want to do this. The original shelby sticker is $20 bucks and would look just as nice if I can install it on my existing gas cap and save me $100 bucks at least. As I am on a very strict budget I just want advice on how to remove the stock emblem. If anyone has done this before or knows how to do it please help me out. Thanks

I haven't tried it but I found two threads in the search engine that mention tapping it off with a piece of wood, both mentioned it is held on with pot metal studs that are flattened from the inside where you can't get to them.

The only other way I can see is to drill out the center 'cap' piece on the inside of the cap to get access to the screw and spring.

If you're on a stick budget how are you going to do a Shelby tribute? Some of those body panels are pricey, don't go cheap on a gas cap.

It really is easy.
