Best place for 70-72 trans am decals?
 
If I am not mistaken, the most accurate set of decals for a 70-72 TA can be bought from Phoenix Graphics? Is that correct? Thanks

PY member (Greg S) went to a lot of trouble & had the correct decals made for the 70-72 T/A's.
After a period of initial sales, he turned the continued production & sales over to Stencils & Stripes in IL.

This is correct, and many of us loaned Gregg Original NOS decals to have these made.
The quality was first rate, saw a set on Adrian at MACN.

Ok. Thanks guys. I remember Gregg doing them. When I searched what I thought was his old web address, it went right to Phoenix so that's why I thought they were selling them. I will see if stencils and stripes has a y for a blue car.

I have a set of his on my 71. They still look great after several years.

I remember PG messed up the stripes for blue cars. They were called out on it and it created a chit storm on TAC if I'm remembering correctly. Wasn't a good look for the site or PG.

I remember that well. I’m not saying I wouldn’t buy anything from PG but they would need to be my only option for me to do so.

You must be getting close on Glenn's car if you're looking for decals!!:)

Yeah, that watching that whole ordeal unfold definitely left a sour taste. It's too bad really. Oh well.

I reluctantly bought some decals for a 78 Corvette pace car from them, and it was awful. They're using a way to sticky transfer paper that makes it almost impossible to get thr decals off of.

Yes they will be for it. I am getting ready to start really moving on the car and want to get everything in order. I will post updates as I proceed

poncho4554spd 05-21-2023 09:54 PM

Thanks again guys.. Stencils and stripes it is. Hopefully they have a kit for a blue car or have one available soon if not.

hiyabradHO 06-12-2023 08:29 PM

They have been out of stock for a long time. He had not done another run. When you check for yours can you ask to see when the stripe set will be in for a white car?

hiyabradHO 06-12-2023 08:54 PM

To follow up on the OP’s question, I have seen a lot of places (Firebird Central, Classic Industries, etc.) selling “GM Officially Licensed” stripes. Has anyone seen those and can give an opinion on them?

70-72 ta
 
I have a nos stripe set for a white car available

poncho4554spd 06-16-2023 06:47 PM

I received the blue stripe kit the other day from Stencils and Stripes. I forgot to ask about the white kits as far as when they will be available. Luckily I.needed one for a blue car which was in stock. Looking forward to getting these on after a little more assembly along with wet sanding and buffing

65madgoat 07-24-2024 01:35 PM

Man you are lucky. I am out of luck it seems for a kit from Stencils & Stripes for a lucy blue T/A. No expected production date... damn

The last run he did we were able to get here on PY a commitment of I believe 20 kits.

Mr. G 07-24-2024 03:30 PM

I was able to order a set last November with no problem direct from S & S and just checked their website which showed the set for lucy blue cars to be available so you should be able to get them.

65madgoat 07-24-2024 04:06 PM

Uhm, that is incorrect. They are NOT available. Only the hood stripe is for a Lucy Blue car.

Spoke with Ryan at Stencils and Stripes -- the last production run was in 2019. Production costs have doubled since then so he has not done more. He is checking to see if a 10 or 20 pre-order can get a run done - but cost will be higher by who knows how much. Maybe $600 a set or more. He is to get back to me.

WHO IS IN FOR A SET?

Mr. G 07-24-2024 08:10 PM

I guess I got lucky last November but I did recheck the website and although you can select them and put them in your cart, there is a line that says they are on back order so I was mistaken about current availability. Sorry.

65madgoat 07-24-2024 10:25 PM

Shocking they do not plan to have any more made unless we push it with pre-orders it seems. Dang.

So who needs a stripe kit? Going to have start gathering names to try and get Stencils and Stripes to produce them again.

jhein 07-25-2024 12:46 AM

I'll buy a set.

I will need a set for a Lucerne blue 70

necdb3 07-25-2024 09:09 AM

Does anyone sell individual stripes? I need a hood stripe for a white car.

65madgoat 07-25-2024 11:29 AM

Stencils and stripes sells individual stripes - but out of white car hood stripes (yet go figure has blue car hood stripes still in stock).

Still can't believe they let this project go. Sad state of our hobby way too often.

Do the NOS decals still stick properly after years in storage. A friend of mine said they won’t stick but there must be a way to use them.

65madgoat 08-07-2024 02:03 PM



Stencils & Stripes will do another run if 12 pre-orders are submitted. See this post and let me know who is in:

Yes, I’ve used them and have had no problem
