----This is just me, but I wouldn't send anything to Ecklers. Ralph sold the company long ago, and I havent heard anything good about it since. And that's with several friends in the immediate area......Bill S

I used to buy almost exclusively from Rick's... I ordered 2 times since Ecklers bought them out... and that was 2 times too many.
FWIW My dad said Ecklers bought an early Ford V8 parts supplier and screwed it up as well.

Well, I guess I was wrong. I know you have been able to buy repop lids for years with the silk screen and I know I ran into Corvette restorer years ago that if I remember would either sell you the silk screen or do it for you but cannot find info on either now. I have never had one done.

find someone with illustrator....take digital images to them and they can make a vector file..you can have a decal made or even a stencil for a silk screen and do it yourself..then you can sell the service to all your buddies..

i did this for some AMX stuff..and kinkos did all my grunt work..and they where cheap.i got a file on a disc and had some decals made..wasnt really a big deal or that hard..if you have the file..theres lots of places to get the work done..

or on the cheap side..you can have a clear decal with the info printed on it...theres a price point for every budget..so a couple options would help the whole hobby......just thinking out loud
