Looks pretty good, Lynn. I just downloaded the attachment and taught myself how to load fonts into Windows, then fired up Word to give it a try. Definitely looks pretty close to pictures I've seen of the original font used on the lower sills of the GT40. In Word, it looks a little better to me with two spaces between "Ford" and "GT". It also looks very nice in italics (perish the thought [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] )

I guess at some point I'll have some variant of this cut in vinyl for my car. Is there a pretty good selection of vinyl colors for this task? I'd like to find a blue that's close to my Daytona Blue stripes and wheels, or else I guess I'd have to have this stenciled and painted on (at significant cost, I would think).
