DJ's Greens tuff sticker kit.

GK351 · 24-06-2007, 06:09 PM

I am in the process of building a race replica of DJ's Greens tuff XE falcon
and would like to know if any sticker kits are available for
purchase Aus wide. Any info would be much appreciated.

Sorry about the small pics im still learning.

Off the shelf I dont know of any. You would be far better going to a sign writter as most would do that sort of thing for a moderate price.

Yes i was thinking the same though i would have to give them details on sticker sizes which i dont really have a good idea about.

Surely someone out there knows of sign writers/makers that make re-production Group C stickers?

I might give Nick a call from Homologated options in melbourne.

You can measure using a good picture and lining them up on your car to work out the sizes. They only require the pics and the measurments you have worked out and can do it from there. I have had all sorts of stickers done just from dodgy pics

there isnt a 'kit' as such available.
as said earlier, its a job for a signwriter/sticker place.

this is exactly what i did when my old man built this...

obviously a copy (without the group c kit) of johnson's 82 'red roo pipe' xe.

i got a biante model of the car, took it to my sticker mate in bayswater (melbourne), measured each and every part accurately, then multiplied each one by 18.
this was because the model was 1/18 scale, so multipling it by 18 gives the full scale for the car.
my sticker mate then matched the fonts of each sticker to the car, cut them out, and i applied them myself 1 night over a few beers and 3-4 hours.

easiest way IMHO.

ohh, and the 83 bathurst car in your pic was done as a 1/18 model a few years agoo too, so doing the same process as me is possible with that paint scheme too.

hope this helps.

have you thought / tried calling Dick Johnson Racing and asking the guys themselves. they could still have the details you need for the sign writer .

dick might like the idea of having a copy of his old car back on the tracks. free addvertising .. it all helps to give has company a bit more publicity.

Well i have found a signage mob in NZ that have made a few sets in the past, it includes all the stickers that are on the biante model car minus the bilstein sticker.
They are doing the 83 set (as pictured) @ $1500

: or the less complex 82 true blue version for $1000

I will see if a few sydney locals can provide me with a better deal, otherwise NZ it is.

Thanks for the help fellas.

I have also called DJR to ask them where i can get a hold of those wheels they used back in the day and wern't much help.

If anyone knows anything about thoses BBS's style number or whatever please PM me.

Price seems fair, id love to do similar, such tough ar$e cars! Have you made a build thread for this car? If not im sure everyone here would like you to make one in the projects section!

GK351 · 24-06-2007, 09:40 PM

I will keep you all informed once i get a hold of everything i need.
Cheers

The rims I'm pretty sure were 16x8" fronts and something crazy like 19x14" rears off a Porsche GT car or something similar.
The GreensTuf XE is my alltime favourite racecar, best sounding one ever!

Thats what they were saying in AMC, had clearance problems too!

$1000 for the 82 tru blu stickers.... god damn!!
ours cost $300-ish from memory.

mate, any decent sticker cutting place will do it for far far less than $1000.
and $1500 for the 83 greens tuf car is a bigger joke!!

i did hear a rumour that the guy mentioned in AMC (Nick someone??) in melb who was building a few moffat replicas to sell in america was getting the BBS wheels done again as repros, but dont hold me to that coz i never tracked them down.

There is a good sticker guy in Gow st Bankstown / Padstow. Sorta behind the old bunnings building. (Then again they may not be there any more... but who knows?)

When I was making up some stickers he was by far the best priced and didn't charge me for the pleasure of him placing a small sticker on the car (the others wanted to charge...)
