Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?

Interesting, varied approach to this process. It sounds like a couple of the guys got really close, especially one that had his own graphics shop. Maybe they are so happy with their finished trucks that they are driving them all the time and never came back to tell us or show us, haha. It sure seems that with today's technology the stripes would be reproducible. Even from the pictures on this thread. the funny thing about trying to get them exactly right is that there were probably some variations of what was produced at the time, and UV would have its own effect. So using Pantone colors to stand in for what is shown on the pictures is going to get somebody very close. Especially, who is going to pull up next to it in an original truck and prove that they did it wrong, haha? Not that I don't value authenticity, but sometimes getting as close as you can with the information available gives you something that is totally worth having, driving, and even taking to shows. Good luck to all of you guys who are still pursuing this.
