Default ZR-1 Knickknacks

I'm always on the lookout for old ZR-1 memorabilia, graphics, and junk. Just to see if the world still remembers the "Beast". Check this out:

they've got thermal mugs too, and even beer steins. But, $21.95 for a coffee cup?... Yikes, maybe I'll find one at a garage sale.

I sandblasted an painted my ride select shocks as part of my restoration of my ZR-1. I wasn't haven't any luck getting the yellow warning decal of the silver/yellow Bilstein/Delco labels, and couldn't find any images on line. I found Bilstein and Delco logos on the internet, copied to thumb drive, removed one of the warning decals and took to a graphics print shop. They took the logos and recreated the decals on the computer, scanned the warning logos and cleaned up the images, and made me five copies each of the logos and warning decals. They really look nice compared to the faded old decals, faded paint on the front shocks and the chipped up rusty rear shocks, and even gave me a computer copy of them in case I need to get more in the future.

Point is, with a little imagination, effort on your part, and a graphics shop in town, you can get anything you want, it's only limited to your imagination.

Cool idea. I've wanted to design a decal that incorporates the American and British flags, and the three corporate logos of Chevrolet, Lotus, and Mercury Marine in one design.
Of course the legal requirements needed to sell that graphic would be problematic. But I think we could give it away without problems.

Like the decal celebrating the world speed records the car set in the early nineties. Maybe the same size decal, and placed right next to or on the opposite side of the back window.
Why? To celebrate the international co-operation, and the entities that worked together to produce this unique and special car.

I would buy venison (deer meet) from someone, and instead of the supposed taxes or NFDA standards he was probably required to pay/have, I just donated to his 'hunting fund'.

I wouldn't mind donating to your 'car restoration' fund...

Thanks. That's kind of a rainy day project. If I put it together, I'll post the design.
