I did a thing!

[DragonLady]

My hubby hasn't been real enthused about any modifications, but was happy about these two. I put the lettering on the tailgate, and put his original Maverick logo on the dash.

It was from his first car, and hopefully his last vehicle.

He's a bit pumped! Now I just have to plant a seed for the side marker lights.....

Nice but is there blue gum holding that logo on?

Yes, it's sticky tack, what you use on posters so as not to damage them. I didn't have time to take a toothpick and go around the edges to tidy them up. Hopefully it will stay when it gets hot inside. I really didn't know what else to use

Very creative! I'm surprised it didn't come with an adhesive backing.

Considering it's from the 70's, I don't imagine the sticky would have held up this long. Its from his first vehicle, the Maverick car

That's awesome he kept it after all these years and now has a maverick! I like how you took the initiative and I can imagine he's pumped about it... lucky man! If your sticky tack doesn't hold up, this 3m tape from amazon will. (Link below) You'd need to cut it thin but I think putting a small piece at either end and a larger piece under the logo would be suffice.

I like the retro badge idea, I've been kicking around a retro graphics idea but if I peel the stock off-road package graphics and do that I'll feel committed to keep it longer than my usual 2 or 3 years for late model cars.

Cool little projects like this push me in that direction though!

You do NOT want to use FunTack on a dashboard. When it gets warm/hot it exudes oils and will permanently stain the surface it is on.

Ruh row! Well, it's already there and I won't be able to do anything until tonight

Looks good, if you want to change the adhesion maybe just use a simple double sided foam tape instead, not VHB or anything fancy. And you can probably do a little on the first letter, last letter and the bull horn logo. Doubled sided foam tape flexes enough that it doesn't come off on bumps and is just normal adhesive.
