[165th]

As far as the front bird and Trans Am letters, Formulabruce loaned his NOS bird and I have a set of NOS fender Trans Am's and a blue and white rear spoiler Trans Am.

The quality of the artwork on the front bird is awesome. I'm going to be sure the repro that is made is exactly the same.

A few interesting details:
- The hood bird is on the clear vinyl with the same 1/8" all around.
- The Trans Am letters however are silk screened on white vinyl.
- The blue on the bird and the Blue Trans Am letters is slightly different. I've reached out to the owner of the hood stripe to see if he will let me peel the transfer paper away so we can have another blue data point.
- Also, if you look closely, the letters are pretty wild, in that the tops and bottoms of the letters are not squared off, but instead arched, giving the letters much more sweeping strokes than what first appears. That really gives the letters character.

The 455 H.O. will also be added to the mix.

I will have the artwork for the hood and letters completed over the next couple of weeks. I've gotten some preliminary pricing, and by the time an entire set is considered, they won't be cheap, but they should be less than the current reproductions pricing.

I'll get a fresh count from everyone for a first run count.
