    1968 GT/CS & HCS stripe decal kits? Any favorite vendors?

    The tricky part of the HCS scoop is cutting out the stripe so the HCS decal fit perfectly in it. Jon as you know the original HCS scoop decal was one piece stripe and emblem.

    1968 GT/CS & HCS stripe decal kits? Any favorite vendors?

    I would highly recommend the soap and water method. You do not have to dry with a heat gun, just get the bubbles out and air dry. Or a hair dryer if you are impatient.

    1968 Are reproduction steel hoods any good?

    We have an original with a bit of damage. But shipping would be$$$ from NE. I recommend dip striping instead of blasting hoods and deck lids.
