Silver Anniversary maybe? Pace Car? The '78 assembly instruction manual shows the graphics package installation for the SAs and the graphics installed on the PCs at St. Louis. Any competent auto shop should be able to install the graphics. They're decals and tape stripes. Instructions are probably in the box with the graphics.

82 AIM shows the placement. Auto shop should be able to make the install.

go to an auto shop with experience or you might even try a graphics place that does car graphics. take the manual to show them the placement. I used to have a graphics shop and after too fast too furious we did all kinds of vehicle graphics. why they wanted to turn nice cars into rolling graffiti i never understood but hey they paid me for the job so no complaints it helped pay the bills.

Take it to an auto graphics shop [pssst...don't go to one that only caters to 'ricers'... [:o oops! my bad...] and take the AIM directions with it. They should be able to install them properly for a decent price. It's what they do.

A sign shop that does auto and truck lettering would be good also. Much of the truck lettering business is vinyl and they will know how to lay out the graphics and apply them properly.
