    81 T/A decal trouble

     



    Hello all, im new around here so if i posted this in the wrong place i apologize. Ive been restoring an 81 Turbo Trans Am for awhile now and ive run into a bit of trouble. From what i know there is supposed to be a Firebird decal on the cover to the gastank, but it looks like someone tore the one off on my car. So i was wondering if anyone knew where i could find one or what the name of it is, thanks in advance.

    Here is a start. Didn't see gas cap decals though.
    It ain't broke if you can fix it.

    You'll most likely have to cut and past it.

    Here's a pic of mine...Phoenix Graphics only sells the 3rd & 4th gen bird emblems I think...i'll be willing to bet your best chance is ebay or a t/a restoration site...i'll keep my eyes peeled

    Whew...

     



    Wow, Jerilynne, I was just looking at the picture that you posted here, and I'm really glad to see that it tells you what kind of fuel to put in your car...these car manufacturers make things so easy for "girls", huh?

    Now, where do I put the fuel?

    Oh, I'm sorry, was I being sarcastic? I know you know what I'm talkin' about, Jeri...
