Hey all!

I am restoring a 79 Trans Am in a Nocturne and Gold colorway.

I am going for an OEM+/Restomod style and would love to do the hood bird in the size and style of the 10th Anniversary bird but in the gold colorway.

The bird is different enough that I can't just upsize the factory bird file and slap it on, so I'm hoping that someone, somewhere, has had a local shop do a TATA bird for them and possibly has a file already drawn up.

I've personally drawn up the standard 79 bird in gold and may have to work on redrawing it in the proper colors if I can't find it for my vinyl guy to make for me.

And yes, I've already contacted Phoenix Graphix to see if they could assist, but I was told they could not provide them in a different color.

I think you’re finding the graphics companies wouldn’t “create” a “customized” hood bird design that’s close to the original, as most graphics companies know they don’t want any legal issues with GM’s “licensed” Hood Bird colors or graphics and this isn’t even taking into consideration how hugely expensive it would cost to make a one-off design in vinyl as your indicating.

But your idea sounds cool!
