Want to go "lightning yellow" (long story) and was thinking of vinyl letters rather than paint. Does anyone know where. Can get or have a template of the Chevrolet letters from a 1946? I need a flat copy for the printer to copy.

I scanned a hood decal, then PhotoShopped to make the right size for the dash. Took the file to a vinyl sigh shop near my house. The shop created the decals fast and at reasonable price. NOTE: the price varies greatly between shops. > '54 Dash <You won't need to do any PhotoShop magic, since you won't change the size. Tip: Use the rubber eraser end of a wooden pencil to press the letters into the indention of the grille to remove air bubbles. - Lonnie

Once dried, it will be fine. I have done this with all different sizes of vinyl stickers, largest being a 3' gecko on my in-law's sail boat. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 | Thanks!
