Another Decal Project - 69 Z

[Don_Lightfoot]

A member here has been communicating with me this past week wondering if I could make a correct decal for his 69 Z/28. He has owned the car for more than 30 years and it supposedly still has the original “Disc Brake Backing Plate Decal” on the car.

He sent me a picture of the original decal as well as a picture of a repro he ordered. The repro does not have an underline, corners are rounded and the background colour is different than the original (at least according to the picture of the original – maybe it’s faded or changed over the years). I checked the Rick’s First Generation Catalog and their decal has a Pink background, also no underline. I am by no means knowledgeable on these details for 69 Camaros so I thought I would get some input from members here before I finish them for him.

The car owner sent me the dimensions of the original and I have been able to match them exactly. The width of the bottom of the “A” is 5/8” and the width of the “I” is 3/16”. Had to play with the “A” quite a bit to find a close appropriate font and what percentage of “letter width” for the “A” was required. Based on the below pictures, what I would like to know from the 69 Z gurus on here is:

What do you think about the background colour?
Did this decal indeed have an underline?
Is there a correct one available at present?

Appreciate any input.
