Who has the factory 5.0 LITER H.O. decal on their car?

Can somebody give the EXACT measurements as illustrated below?



I am making one very similar for my Buick, and want it exactly like the GM one.

Many thanks.

Oh yea, almost forgot...

Anyone that has the 5.7 LITER F.I. decal...

Does the #7, in the upper right hand corner, have a rounded bend or sharp bend?

Maybe somebody has a close-up picture?

I'm pretty sure it's a hard bend. If no one replies tonight, I will take a picture and post mine up tomorrow.

Don't know if the following will help or not (the air cleaner decal is GM, the rocker is one I had made).

I think they are a very high quality item, and was just what I was looking for, after doing the engine swap.
I don't beleive in false advertising, just the truth, and it fits, with what I have under the hood.

Glad you liked it.

Thanks for the replies and link... looks great.

Opinions...

Which do you like better, the solid ones (as pictures above) or the outlined ones?

I can't decide. They are going on a 84-87 Turbo Regal hood.

hmm
Im not 100% sure but i believe the "outline" style is the correct one for the hood decal, thats the way they have them on the orginal brochures both for the 5.0 and 5.7 liters.

yes...the outline is the correct
but if the car is 82-84 it must be solid

Well... for my application there is no correct answer.

I decided to go with the outlined version, thought it had more of a factory look to it.

Thanks for the help.

Received my 5.7 LITER H.O decals in the mail from autographics.com

Wanted to give some feedback on this product...

1) Customer service was very poor. I emailed them twice with a simple question, never got a response.

2) Decals are homemade quality, not professional grade. I cannot use these decals on a hood I paid $500 to have painted. The cut machine used to make these decals must be low grade. There are burrs all over the decals, no where near OEM quality. Much of the font thickness changes throughout the decal. I would be embarrassed to put this on my car.

3) The decal was cut out so close I could never apply it without touching the decal. There was no extra left to hold on to for maneuvering for position upon application. There is no reason to trim the backing that close.

4) Took a month to receive my order, too long for such a small item in my opinion. I inquired about my item at the 3 week mark, got no response.

Disappointed customer. Looks like I'm going to have to have my buddy at a sign company make them. Total waste of time & money.

Looks like you didn't use the link provided above.
Seems that the one you got in touch with was a different company.
Sorry for the bad expirience, but try the link above, and it will get you to the right place.
