speaking of incorrect or unavailable decals, does anyone know if the tire pressure decal (found on the inside of the glovebox door) is or has been made for 70-74 Firebirds?
I was looking for one last year, and couldn't find a listing for my '73... I should be able to get enough info to help someone reproduce it... I would think that with the 73 SD455 cars being worth so much, that pretty much everything for 1973 Firebirds would be available...

About that emmission decal... the one that was on my '70 was so shreded and faded, I couldn't possibly know what it looked like... but I bought my repop about ten years ago;
I never got around to installing it yet... now I'm kind of glad I haven't installed it - I'm going to look for other 1970 Firebirds, and see what their emissions decal looks like comapred to my repop - the way I see it, I use autocad all day, there's no way I shouldn't be able to replicate any of the decals I need... it's just a matter of finding someone who can print them on the correct kind of backing...

I would agree, but I dont see a big market for rear bumper guards..

Odd, I thought Classic Industries had one, but I just checked their catalog and that year was skipped while most others were available. I'm glad mines in decent shape!

I just spoke with Dave at ECS Automotive Concepts (the guy that makes the perfect Mopar reproduction decals) I am sending him the original decal I have so he can reproduce it. He is in the process of tooling up for GM decals now and needs good condition originals, not just scans of them. They also currently reproduce the door conformance (blue) decals perfectly with all the various different versions and fonts. (and they are licensed by GM to do this)

Here is his email contact info: [email protected]. His website is www.ecsautomotive.com. He asked me to pass it on so that anyone with original decals should contact him directly.
