Start with Jim Osborn (http://www.osborn-reproduction.com/)
They do a pretty good job on reproducing the originals.
I've been happy with the few items I ordered from them in the past.

I´ve used J.O. with my old ´70 Camaro. Nice product. I know from continued discussions on NastyZ28.com, no one makes a dead-on-correct blue jamb sticker; at least not for the sec gen Camaro.

The only place I would use would be these guys: http://www.ecsautomotive.com/
They make EXACT duplicates of original decals and actually, if you have a good original of something they dont have, they do will supply you with a free duplicate just for using your decal. (You get your original back, too) They did that for me with my 1972 455HO emissions decal. It was absolutely exact, when compared to the crap, not even close, alleged replica I got from one of the resto supply houses.

Here is the link to my decal: http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/107225/page/0/fpart/13/vc/1

And yes, they now make exact replicas of the blue door jam decal as well. (I got one for my T/A)

They also replicated the original dealer bumper decal after we found an original and photographed it for them.

Many at www.nastyz28.com (http://www.nastyz28.com) would like to SEE examples of ECS blue conformance sticker. One issue is replicating a correct typewriter font.

Below are ORIGINAL examples:

That is what Dave at ECS specializes in. I think there were over a dozen different fonts used in my 72 emissions decal and he duplicated them all. That is what seperates his stuff from the "one font fits all" stuff I bought from Osborne. If you have something out of the ordinary I would imagine ECS would love to see it and use it to improve the quality of decals out there. (and no I dont own the company, I'm just a satisfied customer). http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Steve is right about Dave Walden ECS automotive, he's great to deal with and if he doesn't have the decal your looking for in most cases he is willing to make one if you have a good original he can work from.

Just a comment. It's great to see that some people are willing to go that extra mile for you! Goes to show that this guy has the resto bug! I mean disease...

Here is the one I just ordered from ECS for my LA built L78. Compare it with Paul's Citrus Green LA Z28.
