71 Stage-1 Tune up label: How much interest?

Let's see if this works.

 

Len, thanks for posting those. First picture is my Stage-1 original with my template. I ma gong to try and improve it some bu darkeningprint a bit and making degree circles a bit bigger but it is pretty close I think. Second picture is current weak looking reproduction on market.

 

Dave,

I'll take one also even though I have a 72. The 71 bears a close enough resemblance to a 72 close to be able to use it. At least it would be in better shape than the original. I have attached a pic of the original 72 for reference.

Thanks,

Larry

 

Larry, Looks pretty close but I seam to remember 72 label was a bit smaller. 71 measures about 9 3/16" by 2 15/16"

 

I guess you could just cut off the picture of hose routing.

 

I'd be interested in purchasing one as well.

Thanks
Tim

 

Thanks Tim Just be patient will try and get done after Christmas.

 

I am not planning anything for a couple years so take your time...:laugh:

PS Am I impatient?? :laugh: o No:

 

Materials are now inthe hands of the printer.

 

The proof from the graphics company was sent to me and it looks outstanding. Should be available soon.

 

Finished product about a week away now.

 

Dave; Put me in for one. Ken

 

OK Ken. They are actually looking better than my copy in picture as I had them improve on it a bit and make it look even more original. Hopefully they come out nice.

 

put me down for one as well

 

OK should be ready next week. I have 100 coming.

 

Dave/copperheadgs1:
If there is an existing defect in the current reproductions other vendors are selling, I should think that some other retailers - especially with close Buick ties like Poston, etc. - would probably buy from (i.e., switch to) you as a supplier considering your investment is already made and the proper materials your decals have compared to the others. That may ultimately bring costs down more and make you a little $$$.

Kudos for taking this project on.

Yeh, the current market available decal is not correct. Check out my pictures above that compares them all. 71 Stage-1's are so rare probably not much interest from the big guys. Some may be OK with the incorrect looking decal as well. Strange the current reproduction says Stage-1 in the upper left corner where the original does not. Mine will be a more faithfull recreation of the original for the picky like me. This is one of the first things visible on an open hood so it may as well be correct. I don't really expcet to make much if anything on these jsut more of a selfish thing to have best possible. If others can benefit I am happy to help anyone with one ot these great cars.

 

Are they available yet? I will need one or two.

Len

 

Len, I spoke with the printer Friday and they said any day now. I hope that means this week they will be ready. I am going to call and bug them again tomorrow.

 

Printer called me today and they are ready. I plan on picking them up tomorrow. Here is hoping they are up to snuff. I plan on posting picture when I get them.
