I'm having some trouble identifying the 3 decals with the yellow arrows pointing at them. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure about the blue one or the gold one, but the white one with the red lettering is Cyclone... possible the header brand?

| The blue one looks like G&O something. |

I can't help with the decal I.D. -- but that is a GREAT photo of A.J.'s MCSS !!!
An interesting story concerning that car: Speedweeks 1983 @ Daytona was when Cale Yarborough ran the first 200 MPH qualifying lap for a stock car @ Daytona on Lap 1 - then wrecked the car on Lap 2. The Busch Clash was being run later the same day: Cale was eligible but Ranier Racing had not brought a back - up car. So A.J. Foyt offered up his brand new MCSS for Cale to drive in the Clash. Which prompted Dick Trickle to comment : " If they ever try to do to Cale what you do to a dog to keep 'em from running wild - They'd have to use a Chain Saw on Cale. " 
BTW -- I had to look up the " 04 Dodge " car listed on the pit box roof behind A.J.'s car; it was Rick Baldwin. |

Was decals ever made for the Fort car? Thanks for clarification on the 04 I . I would have guessed Herscel McGriff.

My guess would be the OP is creating decals. |

Can't help but notice how nicely finished out the TV panel, spoiler, and taillight blanks are. Am going to have to try that look on a Buick body I sprayed Poppy Red some time back with a Foyt car in mind but diverted the chassis to another build and lost interest in.

Well I'm done in! Whatever that blue and yellow sticker is, it must have been a one off, only on his car. Not seeing it anywhere else. As for the yellow, we can rule out Stant and Earl's.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that was a Robert Gee body. |

| Could they possibly be a carry over from his Indy car sponsors? |

| The blue one appears, to my eyes anyway, to say G&O Ready Rod. Or possibly GGO. Maybe |

I think it's G&O Ready-Rad, a brand of radiators that was available from G&O Manufacturing.
EDIT: Confirmed from a 1987 newspaper ad:
