Default 67 came without badges....

Picked up an almost finished project. No badges, no holes, no bondo, does anyone make stick on badges for 1967 Camaros(it's an SS 350)? I know it's not correct, but don't want to drill my new paint. Help! Thanks!

The best way is going to be to drill new holes. I know its scary but if you're careful it will come out fine. Make sure your measurements are precise and reference another Camaro if you have one available. Use a brand new drill bit and cover the area with masking tape, it will help keep the clear coat from cracking. The emblems should slide easily into the holes. Don't force them as they are pot metal and will break easily. If you need to enlarge the holes after drilling use a small round file and only apply pressure when you are pushing the file in towards the car. If you apply pressure when pulling the file outward it will pull off little pieces of the clear coat. The emblems cover the area around the holes so if you don't make any big mistakes if will look just fine.

You could cut/grind off the mounting studs and use emblem adhesive tape. First sticking it to the emblem, then trimming around the emblem as necessary, with a razor blade.
