    that had the decal of a striped-ass ape?!
    Funny how some insignificant crap just sticks in your brain!!
    I had one such decal on my 64 Falcon Sprint (back-in-the-day)
    Decal prolly came with other Honest Charley stickers when I ordered some no-name headers for $49.99 + shipping.
    Anyhow......does anybody know if Trans-Dapt (or whoever the company is) is still in business and do they still have the same logo?!
    Jus wonder'in

    TRANS-DAPT Performance Products

    Willie Garner, the founder of Trans-Dapt Performance, began his fledgling company manufacturing and selling transmission adapters out of his garage. Mr. Garner became so well known for his quality adapters, it wasn’t long before he hired a “right hand man” to do the manufacturing, while Willie went out on the road, selling his product. With Willie’s philosophy of providing a wide selection of quality products at a fair price, Trans-Dapt soon became THE company to call, whenever you needed a transmission, carburetor or oil filter adapter, and within just 4 years, the two man shop in a garage was filling up 40,000 square feet of office, warehouse and manufacturing space. In 2009, that will be 50 years ago... Today, Trans-Dapt Performance Products, which is now part of the Hedman group of performance companies, resides in a 100,000 square foot facility using the latest in CNC machining and CAD design to ensure that Willie Garner’s philosophy of providing quality performance parts is not compromised.
