Mobil 1 reproduction plaques, interest?

[87glhs]

This one's from GLHS #841. Was one of the few Shelby items left on the car when I looked at it back in May.

[Blue Iroc R/T]

Dave here is the sticker for the Iroc R/T that I got from SuperDave several years ago. As you can see, it got scorched from the heat on the Steel Powder Coated Valley Cover.
Here is the sizes for the sticker and the size and length of the words on each line:
Sticker Size = 1.560" Wide x 1.167" High
Top Line; USE = .060" High x .132" Long
Mobil = .250" High x .900" Long
[1] = .250" Square
As Recommended in = .050" High x .800" Long
Iroc R/T = .125" High x .850" Long
Owners Manual = .060" High x .635" Long

I hope this helps. IF/When you get these, I would like to buy at least two of them. Thanks! Let me know if you need me to email you the High Resolution of the sticker.

I had a thought that might help get these done, and done to the right scale as they all seem to be slightly different, or at least some of them seem to use different font sizes for some of the lettering.

The idea is to have a picture of each style taken with a machinist's rule laid along the long side of the plaque, and take the picture from directly over it. That would help keep the scale of each plaque correct and might make doing the artwork quicker/easier/more accurate. Even better would be to have a scale on each side

What say you? Too much perfection?

PS If we were worried about the color correctness as well, which I don't think is an issue, we could add color chips (red blue and yellow) of a particular designation so the artist can call out the correct color/correct for lighting.

I've already sent a CSX plaque to Dave for him to use. The font appears to be an exact match to the pic 87glhs supplied, we have the overall dimensions, and he will be able to get a color match from a brand new plaque.

OK, I was more referring to the type size than the font itself, I should have stated that clearer. At any rate, sounds like he's covered...

I apologize to the forum for slacking on this...been going through a lot of personal stuff and unfortunately this took a back seat.

I have the sample Barry sent me over a month ago, and will work on it this weekend. I will have an answer/update by Monday, Nov. 9th.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!!

Update: Still working on it. My one printer that has the ability to print white primer (required to prevent "washing out" of ink colors when placed onto metal) did not look great on the small copy.

I am working on the other printer (which doesnt print white primer), trying to modify the colors so that when it is applied to "silver" (i.e., the metal), the colors "shift" to the proper spectrum. This is involved to say the least, but I won't put out anything less than a perfect product.

Keep looking back here for updates!

Dave, any updates?
