Default KoMotion T-Bucket man Decal

I am looking for some information regarding the decal on the wing glass of the KoMotion Corvette. Does anyone have a detailed photo of this decal? I have sent an email from the contact section of the KoMotion web site; but received no reply. The debate is that the decal is of some kind of wild man driving a T-Bucket. If I am correct it is kind of like an Ed Roth style caricature with big bulged eyes and a hand on the shifter above the window frame. Here is the deal, I own a Corvette that was once a Drag car. The gentleman that I purchased the car from started a restoration process to return the car to its stock appearance. I acquired the car in an unfinished (un-assembled) state and went forward with the restoration process. Among the parts that were replaced on the car were the wing glass and regulators. On one of the wing glass of the car was a decal that I am confident was of the previously mentioned design. Long story short the confidence of my body man persuaded me to try removing the decal from the replaced wing glass via hair dryer and razor blade. Having watched him do this before many times I thought it would work. MISTAKE! <font color="red"> </font> Wanting the decal for nothing more that to paste on my tool box I was disappointed; but not heart broken. Where the problem comes in is now some 13 years later my bodyman seems to remember the decal as being white with red, yellow, and black coloring and having an animal (cat or alligator) with wheels for legs! I have tried to tell him that he has smelled too many paint fumes; but he holds to his guns. In any event I would like this groups input to settle this. I am not looking to replace it, just prove him wrong. I have shown him photos of a TopCat decal and he says no that is not it either. Help! By the way the only other time I have seen this decal was on a 67or 68 Motion Camaro that sold at an estate auction around Buffalo MO during the mid 90’s. It was only listed as big block Camaro in the local papers. The buyer was from Texas if I remember correctly. I was not into Motion at the time like I am now or the years following or I would have either owned it or had enough rolls of photos to fill a book.
