Oem Running Pony With Tribar Nice Original Vs Oem Running Pony With Tribar Section Removed!
When Removing The Puck From The Emblems The Tribar is Never Intact But Once in a Awhile The Chrome Pony is Intact! a Lot of Work But Wanted to See What it Would Look Like!
While it Looks Great in the Picture This is My First Try at This and it's Not 100 % Yet! I Call it The 69!
I got a Selection of Close To 50 Pucks These Days! I Have to Go Through Them and Find Some Candidates! Probably 1 out of 10 Will Still Be Viable!
I Will Keep You in The Loop Before I Launch One if It Turns Out!

Nice To Have a Fan of My Work & Thanks Again For The Post in The Other Media. I Know it Brings My Viewing Count on Ebay Up! I Have Learned a Lot About This One Part & Still Get Surprises all The Time on How To Work With These Faux Caps! So Durable in Some Ways and So Fragile in Other Ways! I Do My Best To Build a Part That Will Not Only Look Good at Install But Some Years Down The Road as Well!
As Requested More 69 Pics. Here is My Second Attempt and It's Looking Good! I'm Showing With Gt-500 / Bullitt Surround as Well As Chrome! Looks Great Either Way. You Can Not See Any of The Old Tribar it is Completely Invisible! The Amount of Wet Sanding is Daunting and I Actually End Up With Thin Spots on My Hand Which Start to Bleed! Now Wearing Rubber Gloves! It Is Labor Intensive and Trying To Find What Works Best to Speed Up Process! But I Am very Happy With The Results!
Also Working on Custom GT Badge Using Oem Puck! A Whole Nuther Nut To Crack as The Paint Process on Those is Double Tough Compared To Pony Pucks. Also Found Out Pony Pucks had Variations in Thickness and Stripe Configuration Dead Center of Puck. Can't Believe How Much I Have Learned about Something we Took For Granted When New!
Fantastic job boss. Yup takes A LOT of wet sanding. I know all about that haha. Sorry that you injured yourself when you were working on it. I still need to send you mine. Haha keep up the amazing work.
L to R Resto Mod Original Metallic Silver Running Pony Puck, Resto Mod Tribar Removed with {Chrome Pony} Original And Completely Original Pony Badge My Resto Mod With Metallic Silver Shining in The Sun! My Resto Mod Vs Original Badge
Restomod Bullitt/Gt-500 Silver Backing With Metallic Silver Lettered GT vs Chrome! Has a Great Sparkle in The Sun! Full Blast Sunlight! Picture Does Not Do Justice To Metallic Shine on GT Letters!
More Variations In The Works! Paint Cures Too Slow!
Meanwhile Building Up Listings And Sales Are Brisk! Just Got in a Nice Supply of Donor Badges in Above Average Condition! Hard To Get! Too Many Ham Fisted Folks Removing The Badges Thinking You Need a Prybar To get Off!
My Next Listings Will Be Using Variations of Restored & Restomod ORIGINAL Pony Badge PUCKS. I Will Be Using The Best of The Best of My Donor Chrome Surrounds on These and My Best of The Best Original Pucks. These are The Variations. They are All Going To Be Backed & Sealed With Epoxy Based Heavy Duty Paint & a Layer of Two Part Epoxy To Both Protect Back of Badge So They Don't Go Bad Like Originals Did!
These Listings Will Be Top of The Line For Those Wanting as Close To OEM Original and What if Look as Possible Without Having To Pay $500.00 For NOS Pony Badges and That is When They are Even Out There! None at the Present I Believe!
1. Chrome Pony Only with Black Background.
2. Completely Restomod New Black background With Painted Metallic Silver Pony & Tribar Outline with Red White & Blue Flag Trim.
3. Partial Restomod New Black Background With Original Chrome Pony & Metallic Silver Tribar Outline with Red White & Blue Flag Trim.
These All are Getting Close to Being Finalized.
4. Repair Original { Very Few are Good Enough To Do This With as Chrome Outline Rarely Survives Puck Removal}
New Black Background With Chrome Pony & Surviving Chrome Trim Spot Repaired & New Red White & Blue Trim.
{This One Subject to Trial Results Pending}
Realize These Are Very Time Demanding Builds and Also Time Has To Be Allowed For Paint Curing at Various Steps To Properly Cure For Best Results & Longevity.
Currently 9 Faux Caps Listed. Working on Multiple Base Chrome Prep & Have Some Restomod Pucks Currently in The Que with Paint Curing.I Am Finding The Restorable Pucks To Be Quite Small in Number As Clean Up Reveals Hidden Issues Until Paint All Removed. So Simply Not Going To Be a Lot of Those to Be Available. Nothing Wrong With My Other Designs Just Wanted To Add Selection To The Running Pony Crowd!
Here is First Restomod I Have Listed! Pretty Happy With Results! Will Try & Get One With Chrome Pony Intact Next!
Note, Pic Does Not Do Justice To The Metallic Sparkle The Tribar Trim & Pony Has in Person!
See Example Below of What I Have To Start With in Worse Cases! Once Puck Removed The Damage Gets Exasterbated on Puck Itself!
Contact Me Via Email at clevparts@aol.com if You Have a Certain Build You Need. Otherwise I Just Kinda Randomly Build Certain Styles.
Too Many Ham Fisted Folks Removing The Badges Thinking You Need a Prybar To get Off!
Almost Done, Going on Ebay! It Will Be a One Off !
