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.

Yes this is the one that I am thinking about; but some closer detail would be great. I think that this makes me right and my bodyman wrong. Mine was not anywhere near the condition of the one on Ko-Motion so it is not an apple to apple comparison. In any event I do not think that this is called the Topcat. X Baldwin Motion's post shows what I would call a Topcat decal in the upper right hand corner. To ad one more twist to the mix my bodyman's dad seems to think it was a decal from the track at Gainsville Florida. From his description it would be more like taking the topcat decal and putting an aligator in place of the cat. This matches with his sons description so now I need to be able to show them the "Bucket Man" to get a concensis. Thanks for all the help you guys are awsume. Looks like we will all learn from this one.

Thank You. I think that this is the one. If anyone has a more clear picture it would be great. I found a patch that has the "Gator" on it that is in question as being the actual character on the sticker. If anyone has a picture of a decal from Gainsville that might have this gator on it it might be worth looking at. I appreciate the help.

[b]Back in the sixties there was a line of models marketed by Hawk. They were a Big Daddy Roth type of caricature. I remember one was a drag race type in a coffin that looked like this.
I have a shot of a similar one - - - ![]()
