We do this kind of thing all the time. Scan in a bitmap image, vectorize it
with Adobe Streamline (or similar), then correct the shapes with Adobe
Illustrator (or similar). You get an EPS image that can be perfect. Then a
vinyl shop can cut it or you can have a decal made. We can do a small job for
you.
Thanks for the responses on engine colors. Does anyone know about the colors
of the sixes and four used in the 40's and 50'? Thanks. Pat Ertel This Old

Ray,
I own a 48 f5 cabover and a56c600 cabover! The 56 is complete but
not totaly stock. The 48 is just a complete cab and fender assembly. The
56 will be powered by a 6.9 ford-ih deseil soon I hope. What are you
looking for exactly? Could it be one of the original p-series vans that
came out in 53? Or the Divco trucks that used the Ford running gear?

Subject: re 56 chop top

I also own a 56. From what I understand the preferred method of cutting
the glass is sand blasting. I also have to agree with T-bird Terry, if
you can find somewone to cut,grind, or blast and they break it, you bought
it. I also might add that number of shops that do this work is getting
smaller due to the popularity of chop tops not being what it was a few
years ago.

Subject: tilt front

I was playing around with a new e-mail provider and I am not sure if this
was previously sent

I have a 56 with a ful tilt front end. The person who did this (prior to
my ownership) did not put on any type of a power ram to open the front
end. Does anybody have info on this type set up? (i.e. costs, sources
etc.)
