Is there a font available for DIY painting? I want to cut them out with the cricut and use them to outline my paint job.

I've been piecing them together but it's not really looking like they match well.

That is his forum name. It'll pop up in search forum with varying topics. I just checked. However, he did make a big home move recently and has been very busy with that. He might see a PM tho.

Why do you ask?

I'm not sure EXACTLY what you want. If its the white lettering for the guages that says oil press, or amps, oil ect then Czechman has some that are made to place on the metal piece and rub the letters off on it. I have set and they will work nice. I believe theyre about 8 bucks for a set.....if this is what your talking about.

If your looking for letters to go in the letters of C H E V R O L E T on the piece over the radio grille most vendors have vinyl letters fairly cheap. I ordered my white vinyl "block style" letters from Carter or maybe it was Classic Parts and put them in place. I think they also had black letters.

Hope I'm on the right track and this helps.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

So the font i'm talking about would be for the gauge face numbers. This is what i've got so far just editing a scanned image and creating them myself.
