I know where your coming from Fred, a desire to "get it right" and sensitive to the cars place in history and modern times.
It's OK in my book to "sport" the decals! I use decals and meatballs on my car, I do actually race, but I would use them anyway! It's consistent with car and it's history, they fit well in that regard as it was after all a "race car". I prefer "period correct" decals, but WOULD run a "sponsors" decal if there was something in it for me!
A more complex question is: Is it OK to sport a 427 badge on the side fenders when your packing something else under the hood? I asked that question on a thread a long time ago and got some interesting repsonses to it.
Conclusion? Yeah, it's OK 'cause that IS what the cars had after all. As for me, I chose to go with a "Powered by Ford" badge on my 427 body style (which is NOT correct). I just didn't want to "deal with" the inevitable questions.
