Default Best place for 70-72 trans am decals?

If I am not mistaken, the most accurate set of decals for a 70-72 TA can be bought from Phoenix Graphics? Is that correct? Thanks

PY member (Greg S) went to a lot of trouble & had the correct decals made for the 70-72 T/A's.
After a period of initial sales, he turned the continued production & sales over to Stencils & Stripes in IL.

This is correct, and many of us loaned Gregg Original NOS decals to have these made.
The quality was first rate, saw a set on Adrian at MACN.

Ok. Thanks guys. I remember Gregg doing them. When I searched what I thought was his old web address, it went right to Phoenix so that's why I thought they were selling them. I will see if stencils and stripes has a y for a blue car.

I have a set of his on my 71. They still look great after several years.

I remember PG messed up the stripes for blue cars. They were called out on it and it created a chit storm on TAC if I'm remembering correctly. Wasn't a good look for the site or PG.

I remember that well. I’m not saying I wouldn’t buy anything from PG but they would need to be my only option for me to do so.

Yeah, that watching that whole ordeal unfold definitely left a sour taste. It's too bad really. Oh well.

I reluctantly bought some decals for a 78 Corvette pace car from them, and it was awful. They're using a way to sticky transfer paper that makes it almost impossible to get thr decals off of.

They have been out of stock for a long time. He had not done another run. When you check for yours can you ask to see when the stripe set will be in for a white car?

To follow up on the OP’s question, I have seen a lot of places (Firebird Central, Classic Industries, etc.) selling “GM Officially Licensed” stripes. Has anyone seen those and can give an opinion on them?

I received the blue stripe kit the other day from Stencils and Stripes. I forgot to ask about the white kits as far as when they will be available. Luckily I.needed one for a blue car which was in stock. Looking forward to getting these on after a little more assembly along with wet sanding and buffing
