Calling enio45 (Eddie Montini). You got yr ears on Dude?!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Patrick - I think Eddie will be interested as I am pretty sure he has a Camaro from there. He is in another time zone tho (~+18 hrs or so). He'll chime in as I have notified him. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

You might want to have one for the Mishawaka Gates cars made at the same time. They used the same style sticker with just the different city name on it. Mishawaka sold quite a few Yenko cars too.

That's not a bad idea. Mark 396L35 is measuring an original off a bumper he has. This will not be a money making venture and the set up cost will be more than run. But as long as I was going to do it for my car, I thought I would see who else needs one. If all goes ok it should be about $8 per copy plus a stamped envelope. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

After a lot of work by Mark 396L35, there are still many questions to be answered before the final product can be made. The photo of Wild Bills camaro has a sticker that is totally different from Mark's original bumper sticker which was viewed over the weekend by Dan Vasik. The difference is that Marks is a black oval with the letters die cut out, which when put on a chrome bumper you see a chrome back ground. The picture of Bills sticker has a colored trim edge and looks to be whit or antique white in color. Is there anyone out there who has, knows of or remembers these stickers that can add to the process? I have the files nessicary to make the stickers and can do any color or cut but there seems to be a conflict to what is correct. If Marks original sticker has the letters die cut out, would this sticker have ever been put on a trunk lid or always a bumper? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I only remember seeing the stickers with the white letters. Never saw one that had chrome or body color showing through.
