    I have a 69 Camaro ss 350 in my Handi-Van Custom. I liked the 8 350 above the script.

              Very sweet. I wouldn't add any additional emblems to the exterior. Looks immediately out of place and goofy to most early van collectors/enthusiasts. Everyone will hear the throaty rumble of the v8 dual exhaust anyway, so no need for non-factory emblems cluttering up the clean body lines of your van. Maybe one carefully placed on the glove box would be cool.

                      I like keeping it stock. But recognize it is only my preference. We all get to personalize our VCVs anyway we want! I am so often impresssed with what I see members do to and with their vans. Plus, we are helping preserve these vans that otherwise might be only scrap metal and repurposed. Be early!
