Good to know, I figured the 83/86 would be different... maybe. I have friend with a 78 when I get chance I'll go look.

Good to know reproductions are out there. I don't get into that much myself. Doing a flip or resto-mod it's not much of an issue. Being out here in Tucson area, folks I know in Midwest area are more interested in the rust free sheet metal than the purist stickers.

Yet even when doing body and paint repair, I try to cover and protect all the original decals as much as possible. Yet many are already damaged, seems like the pack-rats like the glue that was used.

Nice car, I've been posting everywhere. i know there is a lot of cars left with those radiators. just can't find any, Less people in the community want to help each other unlike what it was 10+ yrs ago. Sad.

tall order... but maybe someone can help me out with a 1978-79 Style Pre-computer 3.8L Rad Emissions decal? Again, big issue i can only find them for 81+ with the computer stuff, Different routing etc. So yes it being correct is important. I have one but it is i think from a 1977 engine.

I assume the owners that i got my car from, power washed the car a lot or kept up on the detailing work because mine fell off and is barely readable. (Scrubbing i bet). or sunlight? I have a spare fan shroud from a '80 but it... not 100% correct. Ugh.

To really get the right emissions sticker you will need this code if it is still readable.

Guard that mini donut with your life. They too are becoming way scarce. The body shops harvested many of them to use on client cars when they took the road wheels off. I have a small stack of my own that I use with the Monte for shop movements. I actually swapped one in to my S-10 in place of the full size to gain some room in the basement for my exhaust pipes.

Crap! I forgot about that. I need to look at mine and I have a replacement shroud from a friend that's a 1980 Century Sport coupe 3.8.
