Mattd160 73 #16 Posted November 20, 2017 What's the difference between the sticker kit that says d160 twin automatic vs d160 automatic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,176 #17 Posted November 20, 2017 This should give you an idea of Terrys decals, these are the 3 BIG ones along with a handful of smaller ones. They are TOP quality and make a clean rebuild like what youre doing really POP!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Manic-Mechanic" 1,228 #19 Posted November 20, 2017 Get those decals soon, the prices are currently this years prices and the decals can sit in the box awhile no problem. You can place the order online, but I always find it best to contact Terry directly by his posted number on the page. You won't be disappointed, great customer service too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
