Hello all,
I do vinyl wrapping and decal application. However I am not well versed in Firebird history. I have a customer who is looking for a period correct 1985 hood bird. The car is black with red accents from factory and he wants it to match. The last decal that he had interfered with the hood vents and he did not like the look. He told me that Classic Industries had a wode variety of colors and styles but he was unable to find the right one when I met with him. I appreciate any help I can get.

From the HTX,
Quincy_Wraps.


This is what caused 5he original issue with last decal.




This is what is currently on the hood.




The closest match vinyl color I have.

Classic has them for period correct, just not in that color

The bird was produced in 5 or so colors:
Gold
Silver
Black
Charcoal
Dark Brown Metallic- for Gold Cars

All were just outlined, none solid. See photo.

You bet. Good luck!

This is the bird my customer ended up wanting. Unfortunately he doesn't want to buy it from C.I. and would rather have it printed by a shop here in Houston. However I can't find a proper pdf file for them to use. Any help?

Hire a graphic designer to trace it in illustrator for you.
Then it can be resized perfectly too.

That's a 77-78 bird. Your customer wants period correct. Go to phoenix graphics.

All you have to ask him is to choose the color. This will be a original high quality decal and your customer will be pleased.

Just an FYI, that bird won't fit that hood, unless he has them shrink it. 3rd gen and 2nd gen hoods are different sizes. It'll overhang.

So, he said "period correct" and is going from a '77/8 bird to a '79????

Quincy_Wraps

Exactly my problem. The customer ended up wanting the 78 style but wants it custom printed in order to properly size it. But he doesn't want to spend the money it will cost for the print.

Quincy_Wraps

Yeah....same way I feel. He abandoned all period correctness as soon as he learned it was only single color in 85.
