It can be used by a sign shop to make vinyl letters or a masking template. If you'd like a copy of the file send me a PM http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/...roletLettersWithTailgate_zps9f3edf7d.jpg http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/...etLettersWithoutTailgate_zps09d6efed.jpg In the Stovebolt Gallery ~~ "The Orange Crate" 1965 C10 SWB Step Side Build Thread Inspired to be different.

I just see that they're $10-$15 from vendors, and it's unlikely a sign shop would do it any cheaper than that.

B) A masking template would allow others to paint their own letters. C) I'm retired, I know CAD, I have a computer & the weather outside has been brutal.

YOu just made your 4th so you should be good to go. 1937 Chevy Pickup In the Gallery 1952 Chevy Panel In the Gallery More photos 1950 Chevy Coupe Pictures! I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you
