He has the decals made. Believe it or not, there's actually a cult like following of these things. Since they're from the 30's & 40's, there's still some old guys out there that were around when they were made. Old brochures / pictures give him the most info for placement - mostly a ton of research on his part.

These are some very cool old scooters - you must be really proud of that collection and the work to make it happen having come from your family.

Here is a few pics of my vintage scooter - 67 Vespa

Made it home at Christmas. He has a room we call the Museum, but really the whole house is like this, so got some random pics here.
