    @Utahvette has a fun problem to solve. He's recreating a version of the Project X 57 Chevy and it's coming along very well. He only has old magazine photos to reference.

    Here's the pic he needs deciphered:

    There's a couple familiar, for sure a Champion spark plugs.

    Let's help him out and solve it. Looking forward to this...

    None of the many Project X photos I can find online have any decals on the windows. Is there a reference to this photo's time period?

    The paralegram one to the left of the Champion one might be a Zoom gears.

    the second to the right on the bottom row is unknown and the right 3 on the top row are unknown.

    all the rest he already knows. the second to the right on the bottom row and the right 3 on top are the ones we need to help with

    I found this partial picture of the yellow decal. It looks like the first letter is an N?

    Does anybody remember/know if ANY of the articles during/after the original build listed parts used?
    Might make it easier to pin down what the decals might be, if we KNOW it's got a Crower Cam, then we check Crower decals, or Mallory ignition, we check Mallory decals, etc., ya know?

    I know I went screen-blind the last couple days scrolling and searching.

    I have this book on project X. I looked through the building of the L88 and saw nothing, maybe some decals are from earlier versions? I will look some more

    Here is a spec list for the car prior to the big block installation. Assuming that some of the decals were leftovers. IMG_3080.jpeg

    Maybe the “N” decal is the Nickey-Bill Thomas traction bars?
