I wouldn't mind a set, but wouldn't it be easier to get a business here to print something up?

I rekon it'd look good if teh bee was more in this vain

I can vector up a set of graphics if you need, just let me know what you need done.

Most difficult bit would be getting the size/measurements right, especially if it's just being recreated from photos.

I'd be making the straights very generic for so they'd be easy to print at extra length then cut to suit the door gaps

Yeah of course, and the original was almost a straight tapering line by the looks. So you would print it all in one piece, lay it over the whole bodyside of the car, then once it's stuck down, just slice and rub it to the corners of the door.

Best way to get the measurements would be to make a full size paper template, get it to the size you want it, then take it off, lay it flat, and take points/measurements and I can put that into illustrator.

Any sign writer would be able to print it up pretty simply.

I'm pretty confident I could nail the original design from photos, it's the measurements that I'd be more worried about. If you wanted a bit of an update to the original graphics I could mock something up for that too. Depends on what you want.

Dodge Super Bee decals (the middle one in the above post) would just about have to be available and look a whole lot more agressive than the cutesy-wutesy Datsun Honey Bee.

might look a bit funny on a red car though.

EDIT: found these new style Dodge Super Bee decals. Pretty cool

Yeah it would look a bit off, you'd have to do it just all black or white imo, it'd clash otherwise.

Need to take out 4 of the stacks on the bees back in the image though, unless you've got a v8 powered 120y

Haha I really just want the honey bee stripes down the side wouldn't bother with the bee on the guard. Will do some more research and see what I can come up with in the way of measurements
