Default 68 Nova resto questions

Hopefully someone has an original 68 nova. Does anybody have a picture of what the retaining nuts look like that attach the trunk emblem from the factory on a 68 nova? Also on the front parking lights the screws that bolt it to the bumper. Lastly the rubber bumpers that fit on the door that attach to the door there seems to be a bigger one and a small one not sure if one is the upper or lower.

My neighbor and I were just talking about his 68 L78 Nova this morning. I’ll message him about the tire sticker question you have.

Default 68 Nova tire pressure sticker

Mark just now sent me this pic of the tire pressure sticker on his 68 L78 Nova. He doesn’t get this car out to often but says it’s a real L78 car. It has a CE block in it. White with black vinyl top car. He says it has had a kinda rough life being raced a lot.
I’m going to ask him to let me photograph it and show you guys. I know you’ll like it.
