Does anyone know where to get a new decal with operating instructions that goes inside the cowling on a 1953 Fastwin. Other years will probably work.

Thanks, David

That question has been brought up before but it seems no one is making them and I know I’ve tried to find them before to with no luck. I can’t remember who but one member was working on his a while back and I’m not sure if he printed one at home or had one made by a sign shop.

Is your ’53 Fastwin decal similar to this ’56 Sportwin one?

I made one and printed it off on my "ink jet" printer,
using "white, waterslide decal paper"
I had some issues with part of it adhering, and
ended up with a big air bubble under it.
Not sure if I had the surface too slick, poor application,
or "what". Your mileage may vary!

Mine looked like this before the paint stripper.

David, this is exactly what mine looks like now. I have not done anything yet as I hate to loose the decal, but as you can see, the condition of the inside of the cowl warrants attention.

Steve

p.s. Where do you get water slide decal paper?

Amazon / eBay.
Just search "water slide decal paper".
There’s white and clear, laser and Inkjet.
Check out some You Tube videos to get
some understanding of the process
Stuffs not real expensive so mistakes
learning aren’t too costly.

So I got my decal on the inside of the cowl. It is a "version" of Buccaneer’s decal with some minor changes. My motor is a 53 and I believe this decal is a 54 but close enough.

Much nicer than what I started with. Thanks Buc!
