As I'm working on this decal, I'm wondering...what happened that they had to make a label that said "don't drink coolant from the radiator?"

Survival of the fittest dictates that you cannot make things truly idiot proof. I guess they forgot that when these labels were created.

I don't know but it's kind of cool to have a skull and crossbones on your core support!

I think it needs tweaking, at least the M in SYSTEM is the correct font and the skull and crossbones are a lot better.

I wonder if a lawsuit or lawyers dictated the addition of the caution to the '73 decal vs. the earlier ones.

I reworked the decal, adjusted the letter spacing and sent these off to print. I should have them early next week.

Where does one purchase from?

That was fast! I got the decals in today and they came out pretty nice. I'll get them up on my site this weekend and drop a few in the mail for those who helped me out.

My pleasure doing this. I sold a bunch of '65 caution fan decals before the nationals and got a refill order from Ames this morning with a grab bag of labels. It's cool to see this stuff getting out there. I have a few requests I need to get done for the Olds crowd, too.

Very nice!

I like checking out your Etsy store and looking at all the fine details in the decals you make. The shirts are awesome as well
