Ken, yep, got the SD455 valve cover labels! They look great to my eyes...much, much better than what was out there before. Please PM me what I owe you!

Thanks! Dennis

Received a couple more shirt samples over the weekend. I like how these came out. I keep debating whether to put a graphic on the back of the shirt since it adds $6-7 to the cost, so for now I've left the backs blank except for the SD-455 shirt.

I like the 9 wheels on the BACK of a pocket tee with the Pontiac arrow, as large as you can get it, on the pocket.

I received the '72 455HO emissions decals this afternoon. They came out nice on laminated weather proof high tack adhesive vinyl. Like the '71 decals I captured as many of the factory flaws as I could - bad spacing, blurry fonts, etc.







IIRC, the existing '72 repro has the graphics cut off like the '71 repros. Speaking of, I also ran another batch of '71 455HO manual decals for anyone who didn't get one. I wonder how many of these end up on non 455HO cars?

Other than that, I've been having fun making shirt designs and have even sold a few. I can crank these out much faster than the emissions decals which are pretty tedious. I'm anxiously awaiting the hood tach sample shirt and have a few more gauge concepts in the works. Thinking about getting a vendor booth at GTOAA, POCI or MCACN show next year.

This came out cool. I had the sample done on navy to emulate the '68 gauge color, but black is an option too. All these sample shirts I've had done to test the designs are quickly becoming my wardrobe!

I did a batch of jack base decals with the correct fonts because we needed one for my son's '74 Ventura. Anyone know what else these are used on? I've seen vague applications up to 1980.




I also did a batch of these a while back for a member here. I sat on them and forgot what they're for. I think they're '77 W72 Trans Ams?

The Air Filter decal is also for 1978 w/W72. Not sure if for 1979 but parts book says same size filter for both years.

I haven't had any other asks or sold any of the batch I made of the Keep your GM air cleaner decals, so I haven't pursued making any more. Just sent a reasonably large batch (for me) of decals and silkscreen kits to Ames last week, but it's primarily '64-'70 GTO stuff. Oddly, I've been doing a lot of random TH400 tags for Olds and Chevy lately.

I was looking for a waterslide decal for the fan guard on a 1962 Tempest, and searched the internet, but Im still not sure what it looks like, though I'm fairly sure it exists. It might be the same as the fullsize car, but Ames doesnt show it in there 1961-3 Tempest Catalogue. Is there somewhere that you have your cumulative list?

My SD-455 T-shirt gets allot of comments wherever I wear it. Even when out doing non-automotive stuff. I bought 3 of them. I have 2 friends with SD cars as well. If we are ever together with the shirts, questions often surround what "club or team" we are on?

I haven't looked at anything that early, but I'd be happy to. Most of what I have available except for a few one off variants is on my Etsy site at gastiresandoil.com.

Very impressive, especially the silk screens! I know Vette guys have been waiting for correct screens for a long time.

Question for you guys: Was there an air cleaner decal on the shaker base of a 70 Trans Am? Many restored cars dont have anything, some have the common white decals found on later cars, and I've seen a few that look like black decals with white lettering.

Flipping thru Ames books and a few other suppliers, they dont list anything for 70 (unless I missed it, which is totally possible hah)

No silkscreens on the T/A air cleaners as far as I know. I actually haven't seen any silkscreens on a Pontiac air cleaners after '69.

I've sold quite a few Corvette oil filter and air cleaner screens. The later oil filter screens are spot on. I was working with a guy in the Vette community on the earlier screens and had him measure, validate and sign off against an NOS example before I burned the screens. Of course after I burned 30 of them he came back and said they're 1/4" too small. Ugh.

The single snorkel Trans Am base (RAIII) used a RS 6486668 decal and should be able to find in reproduction (can't comment on quality). Dual snorkel (RA IV) had RT 6486669 and I don't believe it's been reproduced. And, should not be confused with the '71-2 RT 6486686 (455 HO) decal.

Does anyone know if the 66 GTO AM/FM radio dial decal and AM and FM decals have been reproduced?
