1970 CHEVELLE DECKLID JACK DECAL (late version)
Here is another project where I was approached by some fellow enthusiasts
upset about the current reproduction not being accurate at all.
I want to thank fellow hobbyist Rick for providing pictures of his original.
My buddy Shaun deserves a lot of credit here for his software magic.
Apparently he used more than 80 different format layers to accomplish this.
Here are the observations I’ve made regarding the current reproduction
of the "late" 70 Jack Decal. Comparison pictures below.
- Font Style of the large text areas is not correct. This includes each individual diagram.
- Font Style of the small text at bottom (part no., date, printed in U.S.A.) is not correct.
- No slight 3D effect in wording "Jacking Instructions".
- No rounded sections in three specific corners of the White sections.
- Upper right block of text is aligned incorrectly and some words are on the wrong line.
- In the two left side diagrams there are some issues with the lines and arrows.
- The lower right diagram is where most of the issues are. Some words are in the
wrong place; some lines and arrows are wrong; cutout of part of the tire
should not be there; no wheel section highlighted.
Some of these differences are very noticeable, while others are more subtle.
However, it is the little things that make the difference between "correct" and "so-so".
Our product has addressed all these issues.
These are available on plain paper like the original (you apply the glue) or with peel off backing
for ease of application. Price is $10.00 each which includes shipping. This is more costly than
our other Jacking Decals due to its size and extra postage required for the larger envelope.
NOTE: - I do not know exactly when the cutoff date was between the
"early" and "late" versions of this, so do your homework accordingly.
