How to refurbish hood ornament?

[Sad Sack]

My free time is pretty limited atm, but if I can I’ll see if I can pop the plastic out of the other side of the beat up hood ornament I have.

Any luck on the hood ornament surgery?

I have recently been making Hood Ornaments for both GM and Chevy trucks from 73 to 87. I have several listings on EBAY and I am interested in helping people get as close to original or totally custom emblems. here is the listing for 73 to 80 for $28.69 https://www.ebay.com/itm/126267447702

What steps do you take to make sure its at least as durable as the original? Not that they were particularly durable. Being in direct sun took its toll of course.

But I would be curious to know if yours has any improvements over the original in that regard. Even the anodizing on the metal inside would fade over time.

No, sorry.
