Re: 1980 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo

I think autostyle sell a lettering pen, but I have never used one.

BF Goodrich sell white letter types, and I have seen goodyear eagles on cobras.

Seen plenty tow trucks around with those " Hercules " tires on too

Re: Elcamino suspension bushes

If you are in Cape Town, try Andre's Rubber. They can make anything up in poly. Great guys.
