<span style="font-size: 14pt">I installed Al's decals last night and am very impressed with the quality and colors. They really pop. Nice job Al - <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">real attention to detail</span></span> </span>.

Fellas (gals too), if you are looking for a not-often-seen performance decal I would recommend AL'S DECALS . I think the design would look terrific on a T-shirt too!</span>

Wow , those decals look cool on something other than my side window. . last time I actually saw a pair of those trac bars was a little over 30 years ago.

Stunning car , great story Sam

The Drag-Dimension decals look really great on the Trac-bars!.
It's details like this that add up and make the Roof Deuce what it is, C[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img][img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]L!!!

I haven't compared them w/ the original on my toolbox yet but thanks for the new DD decals you laid on me Al!.
Great to meet you in person too and I hope you enjoy the original Thrush hat!.

On Curly's Fiat, I may be wrong but am pretty sure he told me once that the Drag-Dimension paintjob went on the car temporarily when he was in some sort of disagreement w/ the Karbelt sponsors so not necessarily previous to as noted above nor later either, maybe in-between?.

Here's a couple more shots of the car, another in DD paint also check the bottom picture from Wheelspin as it shows the front weights that slid side to side and locked, one of the subtle details Curly would adjust to suit different tracks, conditions and feel..

I've never gotten to the bottom of the different roof cuts seen in any pictures over the years so there may've been more than one body used?.

I saw a pair of this type of traction bar at Carlisle last week, couldn't remember if they were the same as the Roof Deuce or not... they had a rubber stopper in that little cage thingy....
