ok so.. i've been searching and searching for the formula style lettering. can't find it anywhere.
I know there's a few other people that have been looking for it too.
well i think the only way to get it is to make it, which i started doing an hour or so ago..
haha i only have two letters done so far (hey this isn't easy!)
here's what i've got

I need to find good straight on images of the lettering from things like..
TRANS AM
TURBO TRANS AM
MACHO T/A
FORMULA
etc...
If anyone has any good pics of this style lettering please please post it. every extra letter i can find helps!
if i get enough letters together how they are suppose to look i can get those made and then just wing the rest of 'em.
Anyways.. just wanted to post something about what i'm scheming up. hopefully i can pull this off.
-
good luck i wish i could help
-
My lettering isn't in the greatest shape but hope it helps.

Steve, I'll have to see about having you design the decals for my truck when I get it painted.
Either: CHEVROLET or FORMULA 1500 in the 70's Formula style lettering.
-
ooo there we go brett. nice!
and if i can get this font together, it'll already be designed, you'll just have to type it! ;D
-
Sweet! If you get it set up, can you send it to me?
-
yeah i'll prolly post something up on the forum when its done so whoever can download and use it.
-
can you make the german letters to i would like to have both
-
i copied some or scanned them from a parts catalog, decal page, to use on some 1/24th models i made. They were really small, so they are not good enough to use for something larger, but anyways just wanted to suggest you try scanning them out of the catalogs since your just using them as templates to draw over.
-
the german style is floating around out there.
i believe you can snag it here
