The decals are done for the freedom and freedom II Battery, and the large decal fir the front is done too, the caps should be soon. Anyone wanting just decals, pm me.
So this is 3 decals for the top, 1 for the front. The warning decal has the correct # of battery for the firebird, taken off my orig battery and from the Delco literature.

Someone on Ebay is selling decals off the freedom battery radio, watch what you buy. They are wrong and the wrong size

Well, I figured if no one will make a reproduction Of the Delco Freedom  II battery, I'll just make one.  Started with buying Delco Freedom decals from a member, then found pictures of original Freedom II batteries, had decals made up locally and gave it a shot. After all my T/A is a "Bandit" clone so might as well have a clone battery.

Looks good!....who's battery did you use?

[T/A78]

I used a napa legend 84, made the "caps" from abs plastic epoxied them to the case.

I know this is an older thread but in case you are interested BURD, I can scan these decals in along with a ruler for scale if they are of any use to you.

I just posted this in my '73 thread:

Look what I just found. Early Christmas present from a member over at Yenko.net who collects old Delco stuff. It's an original display model (no internal plates).

While it is not year correct for the SD it would be for Gramma's '75. I have seen some of the factory stock appearing racers remove the bottoms and install a motorcycle-sized AGM battery inside and run them as a "decoy" battery.

Freedoms were optional in '77.

The R89WP battery topper I made from an original battery that was dated for 1977 in my Trans Am...

We found someone to run the caps, thanks but I gave my orig freedom II battery for the decals. I want to get these going in the new year, post here if you want a set.

[dreamn69]

[burd]

I'll be on this in the new year. I gotta set up a meeting at the guys shop to go over the caps, and I also found a new guy to do the two diff decals. I'll post when I get news. I am able to ship Páint but your local hobby shop prob has it, it's a pain shipping it. Thanks for the input.

[gtohurstjudge]

[Bentwheelbob]

I'll gladly take 3 sets and promise to pay you in 2019.

Sorry to say it but that's not what the original Delco battery looked like in my 79 Formula. Yes it had the green eye, but the case and top were both black.

[77 Canamman]

Do you have a pic of the original 1979 battery?
