Mark, like you there are many of us out there who enjoy working for hours on the details of a restoration. I have created vinyl lettering for a couple of projects by making stencils of the remains to retrace and cut out on new vinyl. I find it rewarding to recreate the look of an item as it was when it came from the factory. This is as close as I can make it to how it originally looked. The last photo is of a project in progress where I have created the new stencils to be used in cutting out the vinyl. The new vinyl lettering will be applied once the carrier has been repainted. It may be a bit obsessive but who cares as long as you are having fun while you are doing it and pleased with the results afterwards. Cheers, Don.
