Dear Barb and mid-60s Buick
"detail-oriented" types,
Hi guys Where can I get a new Decal for Dusty. This one is done. Is over 16 yrs old. Is all about the little things.
Well, things are not as they seem. There are actually two decals in your photo. The top one refers to the Buick Gran Sport. However, Dusty isn't a Gran Sport - Dusty is a Skylark. So it is an add-on decal.
The other decal is from TA-Performance. Here is a link to their website where you can find things like contact info:
http://www.taperformance.com/TA-Performance is
THE source for performance parts for
"mature" Buick engines. They also do custom engine rebuilding which is where my trusty wagon fits in. I had ordered a custom Buick big-block engine in 2011, but it never ran properly and ultimately busted the rear crankshaft bearing after only 3 months of operation. In desperation I sent it to Mike Tomaszewski who owns TA-Performance with his wife Sherri. They were able to rescue that engine and it runs
great now! (when I can get the electronic fuel injection to behave! . . . . .
)
So I'm a real fan of TA-Performance!I don't see a TA-Performance decal in the last catalog I have from them. However, you could give them a call and you should get either Mike, Sherri, or Tim (whom I've also spoken with on many occasions.) Tell them Ed Lagache sent you and they'll treat you right!
Good luck!
Cheers, Edouard
P.S. I don't know where you could get the other decal but it might be out there somewhere if you heart is set on getting a new one.
P.P.S. Alternatively, you might replace the GS decal with a Skylark decal. That might be easier to find.
