it looks like that one is on the wrong side, i sold an a12 car to a friend who restored it and ended up putting the six pack stickers on wrong or side for side, or ended up with 2 of the same, i believe they are supposed to lean towards the front of the scoop, i'm sure if i'm wrong i will be corrected by one of the a12 "experts".

While the original decals are long gone, the tell tale residue is still present on this hood.

Doesn't matter which way you or the factory put them on if your ordered just one decal by the even part number (3412424) it would be listed by Chrysler as the right side scoop decal and the letters would lean toward the windshield.

Half or more were put on leaning forward, which in my opinion "looks" better but according to the factory document and parts numbering system the even part number is meant for the right side of the scoop or car.

i need the one that looks like the picture with the letters leaning backwards and not the other side with the letters leaning forwards. factory documentation shows the first picture to be correct on how they were meant to be placed. debatedly most left the factory wrong.
thanx
frank.

I would recommend contacting Performance Car Graphics. IMO, they have the best ones based on some discussion we had on the A12 Forum.

Engineering drawing be damned, I'm putting mine back the way they were when new (incorrectly I guess), since it looks MUCH better and is the way my Bee came when new

irrelevant if they were put on right or wrong from the factory-they were not symmetrical so i need the correct one to make things right. you can`t just use one and copy it because it would be leaning the wrong way. there are too many reproduction decals out there that are clearly wrong-if you want to start comparing the originals to a repro i`ll attach two pics-if you don`t find at least ten differences just on one decal from the original then get your eyes checked and you may as well paint the hood in some viper color because it might look nicer.
all the best
frank.

if it were me i would get the set that is as close to "correct" as possible and put them on leaning forward and be done with it.

they are all wrong from all vendors. i`ve said it before that it seems really difficult to reproduce decals in 2012 like originals made in 1969. todays computer programs do some sort of auto adjust between the computer screen and the printer/cutter and the shapes of letters and curves change. this pic is from another vendor-and while i`m at it i`ll post the rear quarter bees-spot all the differences- when i asked why to the vendor he said ours are like the assembly line and not like nos decals that come up every now and then. weird because our nos decals look identical to the original ones still on the car on it`s original paint. maybe he was referring to hamtramck or st louis built a12 bees and not lynch road ones

Frank,
I think these are original decals on my A12 hood. Can you tell by the picture?
