Yes, it's done! This is a project in the works for a long time, but now those tattered and torn Death Race uprights can finally be restored with a very limited run set of reproduction silkscreen artwork available at Gamestencils.com in partnership with Thisoldgame.com.
This all started with a donor piece of Gary's machine that I scanned and retouched which lead to Rich screening the art direct on the cab on site, the story can be seen in Gameroom Magazine.. Later, a local collector Leon here in Florida let me visit and scan his kickplate artwork for retouching and printing. It's been a lot of work but the result is fantastic. Art is printed directly on black matte vinyl for a close match to the original.
Fewer than 10 full sets are printed so this is a very limited and most likely one time run.
Check out Rich's blog at COSP for some cool pix of the printing process:

Thanks for the patience from those that pre-ordered, this art will ship to you as soon as possible!

PS: Infocom shirts are also in transit for those waiting for one of them!
