Default Who does custom made h.p. labels ?

A few years back, I remember reading about a Forum Member who will make up a label(s) to your specifications that you can put on your air cleaner, etc.... with the C3 emblem flags and cid / hp under it.

Anyone know where to get this done ? Thanks. Dave.

Like this one?......




I got this from Signspecialist. You can google their website, navigate to the Corvette section, and make up your own decal or label online.

Another idea would be for the label on the console. I would sure like to have something other than "350 CUBIC INCHES. NO COMPRESSION RATIO. NO TORQUE. on my 75. Even if it was a lie...

GM really helped out the insurance companies with that console decal, starting in 1969.
I do not think that any other car had one. I can see needing the one for the L-88's. Lou.

A couple of the vendors, or at least one, sell blank console plates. I've seen two approaches for this..

1. Take it to your local trophy shop and have them engrave / print what you want on it.

2. Use clear stick on printer type label paper/media, adjust the layout properly in microsoft word etc., print it out and stick it on.

Good suggestion. However, I think the original plates had impressions in the label, not just straight forward printing.

A few years ago, someone on ebay was selling mostly blank plates, that you could take to a trophy shop, etc, for screen printing in custom HP's, cubic inches, torque, compression ratios etc.

That's what I meant. The "blank plates" are original looking just with blank info for you to add your own specs.
