Anybody got some extra grille letters

Looking for some grill letters for a 48 - 50. don't care about how they look, all I need them for are patterns. I work in a machine shop and have found a pretty cool font in our cnc programming software and I want to make some grille letters but need something to go by. Naturally I don't want to pay the new price if I am not going to use them. Anybody?

Tyler, I have an extra set of grill letters but don't want to part with them. I will lend them to you if you would like. That way you could make patterns and send them back. If you are interested, PM me.

I thought only '52 had them? I have an extra set, does it matter if they are pitted?

They used the "FORD" letters in '48-50 and then again in '52. Same letters, I don't know why they skipped '51.
