I've been looking into companies that make wine labels and such, but they've all said they can't guarantee they'll withstand under hood heat.
Not sure how much has discolored. Its been stuck to that valve cover 51 years.

When I put new valve cover gaskets on it a few years ago... I had to restrain myself from repainting the valve covers.

I have about 25 decals from the small test run. Happy to send a few out to contrast and compare to the originals. Just drop me a message.

PY member in TX owned it a while and has talked about it on here before.
He had a 73 TA SD 4spd also iirc.

Not sure how long ago he sold the Formula , but think it has been quite a while.
It probably belongs to the collector in Washington State named Phil , if it is a Level One restoration.

Owned by Phil Mitchell in Washington state. Myself, Dan, and Jeff Denison judged the Formula at MCACN. Very nice restoration by Level One.
