Prior to installing my hood emblem on 55 chevy hood, should I tape or apply some sort of adhesive on the backside where it contacts the hood to keep the paint from chipping or what have yah?

I would at least make up a gasket for under it, you can get bulk gasket material in a sheet at NAPA or any auto parts supplier, I wouldnt put it on metal to paint, it will eventually chip the paint if it doesnt when you tighten it up the first time, ya need a cushion between the paint and the ornament.
Just my 2 pennies.

don't know that most folks use anything, but on one project I brushed on some "Plasti-Dip" for a sort of built in gasket - pretty easy, cheap [had the stuff already!], can't hurt
