Projects PROJECT DECALS does anyone else save decals from all your builds

Bert Kollar · Jan 18, 2013

Here's over 40 years collection of my various car project suppliers. Does anyone else collect them

1stGrumpy · Jan 18, 2013

I have a few, nothing to the extent you do though....

Hilo hotrodder · Jan 18, 2013

I put them on the post for my lift

Larry T · Jan 18, 2013

I throw most of them in a box and give them to kids looking for "stickers" for their bicycles.

46fatford · Jan 18, 2013

I have 2 triple stack tool boxes with stickers all over them, a large roll away box, cabinets and an antique refrigerator covered in speed decals. I used to gets stacks of them from the race engine shop I worked at in high school. I still get them all the time at shows, swap meets and friends.

I have a bunch of them stashed away for putting on.....not sure but I got them!

JUSTSMOKUMTIRES · Jan 30, 2013

I put them on my car they make it go faster!! (LMFAO) "Hell the import kids do it?!?"

black 62 · Jan 30, 2013

decals used to have meaning---meant you really had an engle or an isky or a set of headers---i was really proud of mine---i still like them but i don't put them on my cars anymore---would like to find that isky decal with the dragster on a yellow back ground from around 1965 mine is just about faded away

They are like a blue tarp now - Tiawan's curse on America. I so junk up the Workman bicycle at work with them though....

At least Workman is still made in America....

backwoods96 · Jan 30, 2013

I have 2 refrigeraters that became cabinets cause I didn't want to get rid of some old decals. Lot's of memories.

FiddyFour · Jan 30, 2013

all my tool boxes, roll cabs and even the back of the door to the shop are covered in stickers... never understood the need to put em on a street car...

No one pays contengency money there?

This is about the only pair I have that I won't get rid off.

millersgarage · Jan 30, 2013

I give them to my kids school, to give to the boys as "prizes"

fleetside66 · Jan 30, 2013

I had a couple of these, which I'm assuming are old. When I tried peeling off the back to stick it one, the back didn't want to release & I screwed it up. So, I'm thinking of just pasting the second one on. Yeah, I stick them on my tool boxes. Someday someone will heave it all in a dumpster without a second thought. It's fleeting, boys....

propwash · Jan 30, 2013

I do NOT put those STICKERs on anything....they're not decals. My ancient toolbox has true water-transfer decals from decades of hot rodding and buying. Companies that no longer exist, speed shops that have long since closed or been gobbled up. Stickers remind me too much of the STP craze....

Chevy Gasser · Jan 30, 2013

I know what you mean, Propwash. Decals are the real deal but stickers have been around since the 60's.

Larry T, I'll bet quite a few guys on the HAMB don't even know what contingency is!

My buddy built "Mr. Chevy" back when you put the decals and stickers on (OMG!) PAINT!

I mount all my stickers to magnetic sheets, cut them out and then put them on the fridge. When fridge breaks just move stickers to new fridge

later jim

 .. Yes I have your disease... been collecting that sort of automotive art for 60 plus years

scrap metal 48 · Mar 19, 2013

I have hundreds.. All in folders in a file cabinet...

Boones · Mar 19, 2013

I have a junk drawer full of old stickers, decided to use some of them on my cabinet

Canada Jeff · Mar 19, 2013

Yup - paste 'em all over my tool boxes and laptops, but wouldn't put a damn one on my car (like most here, it sounds).

However, I do have a 3" tall AMT (the model kit company) waterslide logo decal that may end up on the inside of a vent window some day. This "car" thing is all their fault anyway.

saltflats · Mar 19, 2013

I put them on the shop fridg. A few years back I put some on my race car first time I ever put any on a car it was fun made me fill young. Reminded my of putting them all over dads lawn mower.

OoltewahSpeedShop · Mar 19, 2013

The fridge is full, but still adding them to the toolboxes.

olds fan · Mar 19, 2013

Read back in the 60s,a tool box without stickers is like a bear without fur.

xhotrodder · Mar 19, 2013

I use to put all the decals of my speed parts, on my firewall. Unfortunately they always left with the car when I sold it. Oh, the artwork on those old decals.

oldsjoe · Mar 19, 2013

Well for sure they never hit the car! But the tool box cabinets and shop fridge is fair game! I used to put the dash plaques on the underside of my trunk! Then they started falling off and had no room so I moved them to the shop door. Works for me!

Lobucrod · Mar 19, 2013

I got them in just about every drawer in my desk. Got one old tool box covered in em and one of its drawers is full of them. I used to put them on the rear side window of my 409 IMP back on the day but never on the paint. Been putting a few on the lift. I like the magnetic sheet idea. Gonna have to get some of that

Pontiac Slim · Mar 19, 2013

friend of mine does the swap meet gigs. puts all his stickers in a box with a sign that the kids can have five for free..we keep him supplied and it goes over well with the kids

BurntOutOldMechanic · Mar 19, 2013

I must be really bored.....

bb55hrt · Mar 19, 2013

They all end up on the tool box, air compressor, and welder. A couple ended up on the lawn tractor. Gotta have the moneyes on the cub cadet.
