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.

This is what i mean.

You'll most likely have to cut and past it.
I see said the blind man. Isn't that a plastic decal.
Ooooops runninig a little slow on my end.
Thanks, ive been looking everywhere for what it was called this will help me out a good deal if i cant find any of them anywhere i'll just head out to the junkyard and find one.
Im pretty sure of this but will the emblem from the 89 fit on the 81?
125 bucks for that emblem. Sorry fellows my dsl is running a little slower than usual.
Expensive, but worth it.
This is awkward, lol, i suppose i'll go and change that now. Thanks for the help.
I suppose your right, but where i live is mostly remote, not a really big place so i doubt anyone here lives near where i do, lol.
Yeah, someone might live in my area, you never know.
i've also seen them on ebay for alot less...a few t/a's being parted out on there...if i see one...i'll let ya know.
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 :whacked:
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?:rolleyes: :D

How did you know Angel? Geez...can't get anything by you...yep the tire is next on the list...gotta learn how to use that inflatable tire the t/a's come with lol! :rolleyes: :p
They brought me this one in 6 boxes........
the pile of stuff in the background still has to be installed...
Oooooo Weeeee Jim....I like it alot! What year is it...77 ..78? Or is she a mutt...part 80, part 77...he he he...how long have ya been workin on it and what are your plans? :3dSMILE:
It's a 70, and they only made 2500 of them. It is a customers who decided to do a total resto. He started grinding the paint off with a mud hog- ground all the body lines off- took the glass out, got drunk and decided to drive it to the store. Ran it off the road & broad sided a wooden fence. He brought it to me after it sat in the rain for 3 weeks after that, rusted & busted.
I had to clip the front right fender, re-skin the drivers door, move the top back over 3 1/4 inches, rebuild the drivers post, re-make the body lines, fix all but 2 flairs, and put it all back togather from scratch. Frames powder coated, and I'm getting ready to shoot the jambs blue. as well as the backsides of it all, and the flairs. Then I can get it painted in and start on the interior- and put the 400 that I just re-built back in. It's a factory 4 speed car. I can't wait to get to the decals......lol
oh, that's a sad tale. Would you post some pics when you get some paint on it? From what you described...it's come a LONG way! ya know, i love the decal part too...haha... :D
Can do.........
