Door decal

[Hoosier Bird]

I couldn't find the thread that I needed to post this in so I started a new one. That sounds like something JJ would have said to stay on top of the leader board.......



This is an original decal. The tab at the bottom was slipped under the road runner script and it was pushed back against the road runner script as the cars came down the line. I bought one, so John as soon as it gets here I'll measure it up and we can add that to the tech section if you would like.

that's a slick but simple idea. thanks!

I wondered if the oblong decal backing was some sort of template.

The old fellow who sold me my car has an unused Roadrunner decal set of original Mopar part decals for my car which came as part of the purchase (amongst other OEM parts). He was a dealership Mopar parts manager for 32 years.

I look forward to the tech description.

Hoosier, where did you find an original decal? It looks to be in good shape. And you're right about JJ. But he would have used 4 or 5 different posts to make up a sentence!

I see them pop up on eBay. This one showed up this morning. I bought it for 24 bucks with shipping. :cool:

By the way....they used the same decal backing in 69 and 72. Just a little trivia info.

You can see how far off my decals are. The top of the r in road runner is on the center-line of the dust swirl and it is 1/2 inch in front of it. Hope this helps someone...... :huh: :cheers:

Thanks, Hoosier. Now that is some good tech info. I'm going to have to check my decals to see if they are in the right place. Just thought of a question. Are you sure the name plate is in the right location? That of course could affect the bird placement.

Mine are still in the original holes.....

Here's an old thread brought back to life...

I was nosing around on e-bag tonight and found a pair of the NOS door decals. No on had bid them up...so I waited until there was only a few seconds left and threw a lowball bid up there for sh*ts and giggles... Won them for $15.50 plus $2.00 shipping...

:jester:

Well, that was the reason for buying a pair with the little cheater alignment tool built in...

I knew all my ranting and raving would pay off.............this whole randomly placed door bird thing will soon be forgotten...........

You know what if I could get my hands on one I could CNC a piece of .080 plastic with the birds backers outline done as a window in the plastic and make the plastic template with the same locating tab as the decal I can even make the tab longer to help with orientation. All one would have to do is line up the plastic template with the emblem, tape the template in place with blue painters tape, and install the repop decal in the window. We can offer them for sale here for fundraising or ??? , I have so much scrap .080 that I can make them for close to nothing/free and I'm not out to make anything on this. Anyone think it's a good idea or not?

That would be great!

Myself, I have some decals from when they went NS-1 back in the seventies. Mine are for the Volare. I have a couple sets that I bought over the counter at the local dealership (along with the hood decals heh-heh) back in 79.

The tab on the Volare versions are different, although as I understand it, the bird is the same.

Stop it now..........your bringing tears to my eyes............ :lmao:

"Okay Whitney WE'VE HAD A PROBLEM HERE"............This is Whitney, say again please.....Whitney , we've had a problem. We've had a main VOLARE B bus decal incorrect alignment undercut...................."





So this may be the whole reason for the different alignments. The Volare decals (see photo of a set I've had for a long time) are way off of the original rr door decal location that is still on the door of my A12 rr and I'm real glad you brought this up. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :worship: :worship:

THANKS!
