Title: Plaza Glaz decal
Post by: The Going Thing on June 28, 2020, 05:42:02 AM
I remembered someone making a new batch up. I had a rebuilt factory fan clutch throw a few blades and crack the paint on the hood. I'll need a replacement after it's repainted. Are there any available?

If he has any left, get extras. They're nice enough to frame and display.

When you put one on your hood, heed Prof. Gaines recommendation of using additional adhesive.

The heat of the engine gets to the original adhesive and they will just fall off otherwise.

I bought them originally from AMK many moons ago. Truth be known I had them long enough to have to use something else to attach them with.

I used these guys in Florida to restore the factory fan clutch. The cooling blades are like a fragmentation grenade when they come loose.
Fortunately it only made three starred cracks in paint from underneath but sadly the factory fan clutch is no longer serviceable.

So as to not use the stickers indiscriminately ,keep in mind that Plaza Fiberglass was not the mfg for the steel inner structure hood. The steel innerstructure hood and trunklid were manufactured by BorgWarner. Those typically had the mfg business card that was placed into the resin for identification  . It was typically covered over however.

I never heard that of the Ford fans, just the Flexilites.
