My buddy is investing in a $3,000 photo eye plotter cutter since the one he has is not cutting out the printed material to where we want it.
They look awesome but not to where I would put them on my car, I'm not gonna put hand cut decals on a $6,000 paint job...
They will be posted for sale when they're complete, right now I do have 1969 W-30 and W-31 fender decals reproduced from 42 year old NOS GM decals and Oldsmobile windshield and rear window decals made from NOS GM Performance Decals. I will be listing those for sale next week and will be available in any color besides black and white.
I will also have the 442 door/trunk/header decals available very shortly.
Below is a picture of the NOS decals they are being made from:

As of now no cutter, to solve that Ive been looking for the correct metallic bronze vinyl GM printed on instead of printing that color. ive gotten several samples so far but none close enough.
It will be much easier for his machine to cut, especially the numbers and theyll even be more correct.
Im in no hurry, my 442s wont see paint for a few years.
Right now my friend is working on the auxillery stuff, still need the distributor decal and a color sample of the blue and burgandy 442 decals.

This is cool. I love to have a couple of those engine bay decals you've mentioned. I'm going to a new a/c compressor and the emissions sticker is peeling away from the fan shroud. Definitely interested in them when you get them done.
I checked the stripes on my my '87, and sure enough, they were gold and burgundy...not clear like some of the aftermarket ones. I don't plan on painting mine for awhile either, but as far as reproduction, would a photograph work? The only way I could get a good sample would be to remove a piece from a place that was hidden.
