Hi guys no i'm not asking for clipart (before ya flame me) I have to airbrush the 78-81 firebird eagle onto a bonnet real soon and cant seem to get a good copy of it. The guy wants it "painted" not a transfer, and he and also myself cant seem to find a good picture to copy and no cars to take a pounce off either. The one i'm after the head of the eagle faces to the right and each feather has about 6 colours to it. I have a transam eagle (cuttable ) but its from the wrong model car. As we dont have too many of these around to copy being imported it makes this job a little harder.
Thanx in advance
Cheers!!

I owned that exact car... 1979 white Trans Am, 6.6 Litre. It had the monochromatic blue eagle on the hood. I loved it. I used to sing along to ZZ Top: "Every Girl Crazy 'bout a white Trans Am". Unfortunately I sold the car in 1987 for $1500 (CAD), when I stared this business, to buy a small pickup. Anyway, before I go too far down memory lane and get lost, I may have a picture of the hood graphic. Can't promise anything but I'll have look at home. Also, I see the same car but I think it is a 1980 driving around town from time to time and it appears to have the factory graphic on the hood. Maybe I could flag him down!?

Not sure if its too late or if you still need it, but I just came across it in the Sharpline catalogue, a nice big glossy picture. If you're still needing it, lemme know and I will scan and send it to ya.......
