I remember at the NATs last year there were two vendors who had NOTHING but emblems, NOS and remakes, does anyone know who they were?

Thanks

 I like Year One my self. When I bought emblem's for my 69 Charger Rusted / Trash it was the weekend before Monster Mopar weekend and my first show with the Charger. Man they where awful, called up year one and talked with my salesman and told him what was wrong. He went and pulled all there stock and said "Ken they all look like sh-t".

Told me to go ahead and use them and as soon as they get some good ones he send to me. Well they where better than holes so I used them, next week I got the great looking replacments and was told to keep the other's as well. That is costumer services in my books.

Don't be afraid to call your dealer either.   You'd be surprised how many emblems are still available.   The Charger script that goes on the C pillar is a good example.

As well as the large stripe delete quarter panel R/T emblems

Thanks Guys, but standard sources like  Y/O, Paddock, Laysons ect are fine for common stuff (they use most all the same vendors) but the '72 emblems are unique in size and post placement and I'm having a devil of a time finding a set. I bought a set from Laysons who advertised they had '72 Charger Emblems but the posts were wrong, just sent them back friday. Need to find a specialty place that deals in Emblems.

Any other suggestions?

Can't help you then.  You'd either have to repro them yourself (no small undertaking) find an excellent restorer who can do a good set, NOS off e-bag, or change the mounting.  The 1st gen script for the C pillar is the same size as the 2nd gen but the posts are wrong so I know a lot of the 1st gen guys just work with what they can get.
Not the options you wanted to hear but maybe someone else can help.

Thanks Nacho but they got all the same ones as everyone else. I might try Ghostes Idea, I'll have to measure the ones on my '70...they look a little big.

Thanks guys
