Can anyone give me the placement location of the "4406BBL decals" that go on the 69 1/2 road runner lift-off hoods?
I'm going to stick 'em on there and thought it would be nice to at least have them in the correct spot-John

About how many inches back from the scoop is that,if you don't mind me asking?
Somebody out there ought to have a measurement,I've looked in the Year One catalog and The Paddock catalog just now cuz they have a wealth of info in there but no measurements.

photo from '69, that at best, shows the bottom of the decal placement. I tried to adjust the contrast but the indent of the scoop did not get better, sorry.

This is from a '69 magazine article and it shows the decal's leading edge close to the indent of the scoop....you really can't go wrong by using John's (JD) placement or closer to the front instead of the middle of the scoop. John I know looked at a lot of photos and when they were put on originally the installer most likely never use anything but the "hey it looks good here" technique

I don't know if we've ever come across a bulletin on placement. My hood is the closer of the 2 up on the rods. Hope this helps.

Hey,look at the decal of the red car,closest to the front,it's slanted to the right,while others are swept back.
Anyone know which is correct on the six pack decals?

Too funny


But someone had two EVEN part numbered NOS SIX PACK decals and if put them on the hood scoop on the right side where "most" EVEN part numbered parts usually go (i.e., running Road Runner door decals '68, '69) then they lean toward the rear or winshield............ A factory document for the SIX PACK decals list the EVEN part number as the right side BTW

I have the shot of the nos decals on the 'puter in the house, I'll post it later. Right now I'm relaxing on the back porch, on an all but perfect summer afternoon. Ahhhhh.

I like the decal leaning forward on a bee because it lines up nicely with the angle of the scoop. However, I'll just leave that as an opinion since I don't have a dog in this fight(not that anyone's fightin')...(yet).

Mark, are those NOS? Seems they are with the boxes reading 6-71 and they are ODD part numbers that would be "A$$-U-ME"D to be for the left side of the hood scoop on an A12 Bee........you kind of see what I'm getting to eh? If they were left side hood scoop decals which way did the design department intend them to lean but which way did most of the installers think they looked better and which way do most of us think they look better (me included)

According to the part numbers and to the factory document that I've seen they are "supposed" to lean toward the windshield but they just don't look as good as they do when leaning forward IMO Thank goodness the installers in '69 had a better eye for that than the design department too

While not quite the mileage as a painted fender tag question , without an nos decal and part number for the other side and/or documentation, we can only guess at the odd/even forward/backwards placement. Too many road test pictures going both ways to be definitive. That's why I chose the least debatable position.
