Has anyone had any luck with the decals from Ames? I'm getting ready to order about 8 of them. If they are junk I will wait until the "good stuff" comes out.

I just Fedexed my original 72 455HO emissions decal to Dave at ECS. We will see what the result is very soon. He says it will be an exact duplicate of my original. I will keep you all updated as soon as I see it. Everybody keep your fingers crossed.

Steve:

Please let me know as soon as you see the repro. If they're nice, I'll need at least two. If the A-body decal is the same, then I'll need four.

Frank - still need to check the trunk decal on my Formula. I'll try to remember to shoot some pics tonight.

Unhappy

Man, I just don't know where my head is, Frank.

I could have sworn my blue Formula still had it's trunk decal, so I got my digital camera out last night and popped the trunk. Only thing left is the glue pattern!

Sorry!

Here's the preliminary version. It's not finished yet. Dave received my original yesterday and worked 12 hours straight through the night on it. He said this was a challenge because there are at least 7 different fonts in the decal and they were originally produced as reverse silkscreened images on the back of clear mylar, with a black layer, then a white layer for the text. Amazing work. If anyone has any other decals for Pontiacs, Dave needs them and will reproduce them for his catalog of decals. You also get a free one back along with your original.
