Your car stands <span style="font-weight: bold">TALL!</span>

Please dont take any discouragement from that. A GG show is not always the best place to take a car like yours. Your car and your work rocks! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Did you ever get the "By Berger" emblem mounted on the car? ... she came out really nice .. That G. Red is super nice on that car

I am going to put the by berger on when someone shows me where they put one on a 69 chevelle back then. I am planning on going to the Berger show in August and hoping someone there can tell me . I am also trying to get the original owner to come and maybe he can remember where it went. It would be nice if an original 69 chevelle owner came to the show with his 69 chevelle so I could see how they were put on. I know I am dreaming!

Of the few by Berger car's I've seen,they seem to favor the driverside rear panel,regardless of model.

Thanks for thr picture Rick. I looked up an old post from the site from Dale Berger.

If I remember correctly, the "by berger" was placed on the lower left of the tail panel and the left edge of the "b" was straight up and down. This gave the emblem a slight angle upward on the right end. You have to remember that they were installed by the tech who prepped the car and were subject to some variances. In the early 80's Chevy was concerned that the screws placed through the panels and on some models, trunks, would rust and would spread. Concequently we decided to use a pressure sensitive decal instead of the metal emblems. In retrospect, I don't think our "by berger" screws rusted nearly as bad as did some of the panels!!!! Hope this helps!
