Jan Larsson - underhood decals

Jan - do you still have a guy that makes the under hood decals? A few of mine look like they disappeared, and the one on my AC line is about to bite the dust.
 
The PAS stickers that go on the hood, me and Robert got one from Ron Kristen in Ohio. They were the original PAS stickers, Scott was standing there when I got mine, they are the real thing.
 
The large PAS decal/sticker you can still get from GM or at least from Classic Industries I believe. Jim Osborn (below) also still list this one as available.

The Fan Caution decal (yellow) is available from Osborn Reproductions Jim Osborn Reproductions.

Unfortunately for all the others I had reproduced due to GM licensing they are not available I'm afraid ... I got some ideas how we might be able to make them available again with the proper licensing and leverage the large number of hours myself and another guy put into getting them reproduced but this might take some time.

If I do make some progress on this I'll let you all know ... but might take some time.

I had that feeling. A few months ago, someone on TGO had to stop making the underhood decals. Is that the same guy? Your decals looked really good too. What really makes me angry is that GM took taxpayer money to get bailed out, and they are stopping someone who provides for a small niche market, and was probably only making a few dollars off of his work. They made off with billions, and they sue over a couple of dollars.

Yep and we put many many hours into getting them done properly and you all seen my posts over several years to get hold of good photos and dimensions to get them done with a number of iterations and corrections before we were happy with them .. very few actually managed to order them in time unfortunately ... so lots of time wasted. He didn't make much money to talk about as he was dead cheap more of a service to help people out but with the risk of getting taken to court or pay the very expensive licensing fees he pulled out.

I do hope I can leverage the work he did for me and get someone with the licensing in place to keep this going but as I said might take time as there's not much money in selling them I'm afraid.

I only got one spare set for mine or I would be happy to help you out; need to keep them for reference if we can get something going elsewhere.
 
Jan,
Do you know if these folks are identical to the originals, or just similar?
When I restore the Hardtop, I wanted to paint the door jambs, but if I can't get identical stickers, I may pass.

Not seen any in person and don't know anyone that got any from them but sounds like they should be 100% identical .. just a bit odd they need a photo to work from all the time I would expect them to have the correct templates to work from already.

All I know they are very expensive, let us know if you do order some.
