Whats the general interest in the Y-Block valve cover decals? Should I make the current decal smaller and remove the extra text? What size do you think would be best? Chuck

I'm moving this post to "this and that" to discuss the decals!

I would be interested in a vlave cover decal Chuck, and yes without the extra text would be good.

Put me down for 2 sets, Chuck. I think just the logo without the text works. Regarding size, I guess as big as you can make it without the design running into the scallops or overhanging the inboard side too much.

Put me down for a few sets Chuck. Wish someone would do up some sew on patchs, I may copy the design and check with a couple of local embroidery shops and see if they can be done in a small quanity and still be affordable.

Overseas is the way to go but the minimum will have to be determined. Let me do some checking. Sleeve or back patch? Or both? Chuck

I was thinking patches for over the pocket of my work shirts, but a back patch would be nice too. The ones that Lon and Lynn have  are real nice, but those shirts ain't made for working. Check into it and let us know. You are right off shore would be cheaper, and that is where the shirts are made anyway.

Chuck.  I’m interested in a couple sets of valve cover decals also.  I'll opt for no text.

Ted,

When you worked up the valve cover drawings you posted did you do them to scale? If so what is the dimension of the Y-Block logo that fits above the scallops? That looks like a near perfect size. Chuck

The drawings are done to scale.  Comparing the decal length to the scallops should give you an idea of the actual length.  If you need the actual picture of the decal, just give a shout and I'll email it to you in a PowerPoint format.  Jim reconfigured the picture to a usable format and sent it to me so I could stretch and move it around and I can also send this to you if desired.

What is the decal you guys are talking about. First I heard of it when it went up here.
By MoonShadow - 18 Years Ago
It was drawn up by Jerry Christenson and used at Y-BlocksForever as their logo. Chuck

By Ted - 18 Years Ago
And here's a picture of the valve cover again.  The logo was stretched to fit the cover better.

I think I like it stretched a bit better anyway. I'll check it out. Chuck

I'm with MoonShadow. I like the stretched out version. Seems to fill out the cover.  Gerry
By Glen Henderson - 18 Years Ago
I like the stretched version that Ted submitted, It would look great on painted or chrome valve covers plus it could be used on air cleaners or as a window decal. Go for it.

Like the stretched version.   Glad there's so much interest!!!     Eddie

Chuck,

       If you do a decal, can we figure a way to apply it to a cast emblem? Seperate from the Valve cover, but could be added.

        Also like the emblem idea, BUT can you add a seperate patch for names and Jim's zones. Midwest, New England etc? Start a little rivalry here!
