[roadrunnerh]

I'm too old to get up into that area

WTF? Have some coffee, smoke one, and get your azz up there so we can see cool stuff!
It's cold as F outside, I'm bored when I don't get "car time".

Here's the quarter windows with the correct era water decals. Nothing else. The one decal on top is super rare, but it was proper and connected to where the car operated, so it had to come for the ride.
Choose your cars look, but most importantly choose the mood you would like your car to disseminate. Sometimes it is not the products themselves that need to be celebrated and paraded, but the feeling of the time.

I say yes. Period correct of course

It's fun hunting these vintage decals down. They do look the part because they were there in the day. Repros are a second option, but the coloring and printing give them too much of a contemporary look in my book. I think the decal/sticker craze really took off in the late, late 60's/early 70's. Before that, it didn't look like people were hell bent of showcasing/promoting the products they were running probably because it had to be hand painted for the most part.

Do you guys have speed parts decals or dragway decals on your quarter windows? I was thinking of putting a few on my Savoy to complete the old school look.

They go on easy and come off easy I'd say give a try . I use to have them alot when I was racing but mainly sponsor but some "vintage" decal would look old school

Personal taste.
I have fun on my old (I don't even call it a classic) car
Sadly, I have a small sticker problem hahaha

I was planning on putting a S/S A in the back windows of my 63.
Just been going back and forth on the size, font, etc.

Any suggestions?
Pics?

The bodies are in the trunk. LOL.
These are just a hint of products on board, I was never a fan of displaying performance products all over the place.
Mind you, there are a lot hidden truths in the car, it's just that the labels, stamps and sometimes the engravings in some products have been removed to have a cleaner meaner feel.

I remember once showing the engine compartment to Rick from Firecore Wires and he said, "where's the wires you purchased from me? I said: right in front of you firing all cylinders as we speak" The printed Firecore logos that staked every five inches were removed with WD40 to reveal stock looking black wires. LOL.
On the note of quarter window signage, WIN Elimination stickers covering every inch of the quarter windows may warm your heart and strike fear in others while at the track, but not a good hand to show on the street. LOL.

Original pin-striping from 1969. Only decals are my college sticker in the back window, my college parking decal on the rear bumper and a current NSRA safety inspection decal above the painted Plymouth (copied from a MoPar advertisement) and the Plymouth

heart with the arrow tail in the right vent window. I pulled the black decal stripes off the sides a week or so after taking delivery of the car in February 1968.


That stuff's been on there a loooooong time and has required a few touch-up sessions.

Oh yeah, I usta was a pin stripper but my hands aren't that steady anymore. Still got my tool box of brushes and a few cans of one-shot, though
