Why do you think that the Die Hard decals will not work with the orange? Here are the decal sheets that I bought.

Those will look nice. Maybe he thought you meant Die Hard the movie and thought that a cowboy like Bruce Willis would clash with an Outlaw like that. Yippee Ki Oh Ki-ayy Mother...

LOL now thats funny. I am waiting for them to arrive in the mail. I can only go by how they look on my computer monitor who knows once I get them and see the colors in person I may change my mind. However if the outline around the white lettering is infact orange like it looks on my computer monitor this is whats going on my car.

No, I was just thinking that typical DieHard/craftsman colors were black and white (and a little red trim) and that your car is honking ORANGE ........................................ but as with anything, I could be wrong

Maybe it's that you're decals are faded and just look orange...
could be that I don't remember any orange at all, and could be I just hate orange
utimately it is YOUR car and you are the one that has to live with it - so if you like it, it's all good

Well nothing is set in stone. I don't even have the decals yet. I bought them because they look like they are white, black and orange to me. I agree that if the lettering is outlined in red that it will clash with the orange and that is not the look I was going for, however all may not be lost. I may be able to trim them with an exacto knife and still be able to make it work. Thanks for your opinion.

I think it will look fine, but ifnot; the rambling above gave me another idea.
Starsky and hutch 's colonel theme

I purchased a few autographics decal sheets off ebay..the seller was amazing she sent me 3 extra sheets for free...and they were here in less than a week...

Sorry Mr Ed I don't know what that looks like. Got any photos? I wasn't a real big fan of Starsky and Hutch. I remember the show but mostly remember the Torino. Thanks.

I was actually thinking the same thing before the pics.

Thats where I purchased these decals. I took your advise and checked on ebay. I think we may have purchased the decals from the same seller. The seller has contacted me and explained that she is out of town attending to hSer daughters needs and there is going to be a delay in the shipping. Her name is Pam and her seller ID is delawilson75u4. She also told me that she would send extra decals for my understanding.

Yep that's her..great lady..she sent me extra because she was going to be a delay of one day for her getting to the post shop..I could have waited a whole day no problem at all...it's says in one of her auctions that some decal sheets were found when emptying out an old chest of drawers..she must have worked for Autographics at some time..she's got stacks of them..

her husband owned autographics.
