Jan S Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I am in search for a ’69 Oldsmobile Ram Rod 400 air cleaner decal acc. to the enclosed image (picture from Supercars unlimited webpage). Is there an aftermarket source for these alternatively a kit decal sheet containing this? Many thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I am not aware of any of the decal guys doing it and the kit doesn't have it. I have successfully printed my own underhood decals and would probably take a crack at this one if I needed one. It would come out grey on an ink jet rather than silver, but might be close enough to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My good friend Bob Spedding printed up a bunch of '68 442 air cleaner decals for me for my last project. He addressed this issue by printing them on clear decal paper allowing the chrome to show through. There is enough of a contrast created by the clear film to make it look pretty close to accurate.

Jan S Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Many thanks Steve & Steve, might be the time to get some clear decal paper and take a closer look at that laser printer at the office! -jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked also his collection, he has (had?) a set for ’70 Rallye 350 that also includes decal for aircleaner - unfortunately not quite right for this particular project. -jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something he didn't have a couple of months ago when I needed it! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
