There's very little left of this decal but might be just enough to match it to others. Sorry it's not better. Then again, it might be too new for your research. This car was built in LA March 13th 1968...Joe

Sorry missed your photo.  The more the merrier.  I’ll have to study & compare on that one for a little bit. 


Also if anyone is looking Mr. Lightfoot is still doing decals as I just place an order for mine for if and when I start the full resto on my car.

Wanted to give a shout out to Don Lightfoot on a recent order of decals for the potential restoration on my 68 Z.  Not sure I'll do a restoration but wanted to have the decals on hand for the future.  Excellent work as always.  Went with the original style posi decals that were applied with glue on the back vs the current repos that are adhesive backed.

Hats off to Don, he does terrific work and is always up for a new challenge. You mentioned that "original style decals are applied with glue" which is true for the positraction caution decal. Oddly, original jacking instruction decals originally had an adhesive backing like modern decals which partially explains why they survived and the posi decals often fell off the trunk lid.

You are correct Lloyd I mistakenly said it wrong when I typed it up.  Traction decal was glued and jacking had adhesive. Thank you for mentioning this as I wouldn’t want to mislead anyone.
