Hello,

I have heard to do a full body wrap with decals it is best to use a template of each side and top of the vehicle and then make several decals out of the same pic but different parts. Does anyone have a template for the 67/68 Firebird?
I have tried to scan the casting itself but it always scans way bigger and the scanner does not have a setting that I can find.

Thanks,
Steve

Maybe you could wrap the car tightly with one piece of either plastic wrap or Glad press 'n' seal wrap, trace the desired pattern with a sharpie and then carefully remove it from the car and place it flat on paper. Then scan, copy or trace it onto another piece of paper. Don't know if it'll work, but the stuff is probably in your kitchen. Just an idea.
As Gunn suggested, you might try to contact someone at PM. That sounds like a good idea. :wave:
