<VV> Another '62 disassembly question

[Russell Little]

I can answer the emblem question.  They are held on with 3 speed nuts each.
To gain access to them you need to remove the vent grill and the vent (4
screws on each side).   I am in the process of restoring a 1968 Monza ragtop
and just took those emblems off the other day as I am prepping for the body
shop.

I also removed headlight buckets but that was months ago and I forgot what I
did to remove.  I do recall it was not hard and also not the bolts that hold
the horn in place.  Maybe another member can shed light on that.

Subject: <VV> Another '62 disassembly question

Disassembly is proceeding very well. Most all exterior trim is photographed,
removed, bagged and labeled. Bumpers, front & rear latches, headlight and
taillight assemblies, mirrors, antenna, molding, etc.

My 1st question is how do I remove the lower emblems from the front fenders?
Are they installed with "barrel clips" so that the emblem prongs can be
gently pulled out of the clips and then the clips removed, or are they
installed with speed nutz on the back of the prongs? If there are speed
nutz, how do I access them?

My 2nd question in in relations to the headlight buckets. I have
disassembled the buckets (lights, clips, lens, trim) and removed the screws
that seem to be holding the bucket to the fender. The buckets are painted a
gloss black and the fender still has it's original champaign color, so I
know the brackets must come out, but even with all the screws removed from
the bucket assembly, they don't budge and I don't want to force them. So
what do the experts recommend?

Thanks
