Door decal

[ACME A12]

Hey Gary, just a thought...how do you know that the little backing paper alignment tab is supposed to go UNDER the emblem...? Did you find this in a tech reference somewhere? The reason I ask is it just occurred to me that if the tab was placed adjacent to the emblem it would line up very closely to the bird decal that is installed on your door... Please advise...

Someone on the old site mentioned that it went under and if you compare that to an original it is right on. Check out the pics.....this is my mom and dad with a brand new road runner in 69.

I think that part of the problem is the amount of misinformation out there about our cars. One really good example is in Paul Herd's Charger, Roadrunner and Superbee Resto guide. On page 171, it shows a pic of the door with road runner emblem and the decal. It says "note correct positioning of the decal" and the decal is too close to the emblem and too high.

So... How many guys do you suppose have put their decal on based on that???

when it came time to place the door decals on my car, i matched it with the location from a pair of doors from my donor car. the donor car was a 30 K mile car rotten on the bottom of everything. i really don't think the line workers placing the decals really took there time and every car is special. i placed mined exactly like i saw it on an original and have seen many veriations. so i guess what i am saying is close is good enough.

Don't know if you can see the location but this is a "survivor" '69 F8 Hemi road runner but not sure if the decal is original just guessing it might be...

The blem or mark on the door paint makes me think it's original. This rr is always at the Nat's and the Chrysler Classic events so maybe someone here knows this rr?

When I bought my current RR the decals were not installed. The guy I bought it from when to a cabinet and gave me a mopar envelope with three decals, left and right door and trunk. The left door had the locator tab (like in the original post) but the right door didn't have a locator, they all had mopar parts numbers, so I assumed they were NOS.

When I installed the one on the right door I got it off about 1/8 of an each off so don't look to close.

You are supposed to follow the "Don't Ask - Don't Tell" guidelines. Now you've gone and incriminated yourself! Now you must feel the wrath of the dreaded "Decal Police." :jester: Sick 'em, Gary!

Well, I'm sure they are not all perfect, but they would be closer than a lot of the ones I've seen. 1/8" would pass my inspection........ The survivor above even looks to be about 1/8" closer to the emblem than what it should be if someone had taken the time to get it perfect, but I'm sure that didn't happen.......

What really kills me is to see the bird placed up on the front fender of a '69 road runner ala the 1970 model. Man, I hate to see that! (and yes, Virginia, I have seen that done :loco: )
