I have what looks to be a new 2000 badge from the left front fender of
the 68 2000 I purchased new.  Unfortunately it is slightly curved.
Something that happened when a 67 Chevy caprice turned left into the
fender in 1969.  For some reason I picked the fender badge up off of the
street and kept in my toolbox all of these years, and except for being
slightly arched, it looks new and has the mounting pins as it should
have.

Now I want to replace the weathered and rough 2000 badge on the rear of
my car, and this near perfect badge would really look nice there.  Does
anyone have any ideas about how to straighten this badge without
breaking it?  The arch is about 3/8" at the center.
