How tall are your letters

How tall are the letters on the rocker that say "Ford GT40"? Any other dimensions would be helpful.

Re: How tall are your letters

Hi Dean - my stripes are :

1/2" top stripe
1/2" space
2" letters (GT-40) / main stripe
1/2" space
1/2" bottom stripe

This was the standard pattern from the old RF (with any option you like for the letters) - maybe the new RF can still source them ?

Kind Regards,

Peter D.

Re: How tall are your letters

Dean, I went with a little slimmer dimensions for a toned-down look. I believe 3/8" stripes and spaces in the order Peter mentioned with I think 1.5" letters. I printed stripe and Ford GT pattern pages on my computer in different dimensions, cut them out, and taped them on to see the width I liked. Don't forget to decide on the font you like. For instance some original letters were wider than they were tall and some were slim in width. I checked out all the "picture books" of originals and decided from those. They vary widely. Then you can specify to the decal maker exactly what you want.
