That is EXACTLY the problem I had and why i did this.  Id love to get a run done of them and sell them; im just not sure about copyright stuff on this?

Hello Ron,They look great!These won't wrinkle like the water based ones?When I put the water ones on mine I had the (not so) bright idea to give the covers a spray of clearcoat.Had to start all over again.Clearcoat makes them lift and wrinkle.I have no idea what they cost you to make them but you might think about marketing them if they work so well.Regards,Mark

  

Fantastic!  Glad to help even in a small way.  Let me know how they go on; i havent installed mine yet!

Ron-

I got the decals, they are awesome, thanks! I'll post pics when I get them installed, may have to change the color of my valvecovers though, we'll see, thanks again!

Thanks! Look forward to getting them! Going to hit another round of parts gathering (when payday gets here ) and we should be REALLY close! I want to have everything on hand before we start assembling so once we get going we dont have to stop - picked up a vintage Speed Gems trans adaptor so now we know what direction we'll go with the trans. One of the students is milling out a set of header flanges, we are going to try and fab a set of lakes style headers. On the hunt for a cool vintage intake, but we can certainly use what we have till we find one, that wont hold us back.

I'll for sure post pics/videos of the blue 292 on the test stand - Tim you were absolutely correct about the radiator being below the engine, that is going to present some challenges. I think we have it purged but wont know for sure till we get the engine up to operating temp. Thanks again for all the help!!

OK, I know what you are talking about now, I've had decals like that made before (not of the Y emblem but something else)  I do however buy some that do not have the full rectangle  background transfer that don't look too bad.

I can try to, but they have a sheet over the top to align/protect until you install them, so it might be a while before I redo my valve covers.  Im not sure how these could be the same as ones you have been using, since I had these made locally.  They took one of the water transfer ones, scanned it, etc. and them printed/die cut them.  Its important to note that these arent on one rectangular sheet of clear (like the ones that I used to be able to find).  These are a die-cut script that doesnt have any background (clear or otherwise).  The die cut is around the lettering/Y8 Logo, etc.  Hard to explain, maybe Dan can post pics/comments once he gets them and installs them?

Do you think you can post a picture of the decal, I'm just curious if they are the same as the ones I've been getting.

Thanks

Ok, I finally found it!  I am REALLY sorry for the delay.  Work has been stupid busy, mostly on the road lately, and at this point Im just glad to have a job, so I cant complain too much....

Frank, I only have one more set beyond the ones I will use on my car, so I dont think I can help you out... Im REALLY sorry about that. 

These things are die cut around the script, and the script & Y-8 are separate - you have to line them up when applying the decals.  Should be pretty straightforward.  I had a local sticker shop make these out of vinyl, since the water transfer ones that I coould find always krinkled up.  I mention all of this because I think I could get a sheet of these printed up by the shop for a reasonable price, so if enough people were interested, Id be willing to talk to them about it and see what it takes.  Id only look to cover costs, no profit on them.  thoughts?

Dan, Ill drop the one spare set I found in the mail on monday.  Again, very sorry for the delay.
