Getting close!

Here is the final design.

We ended up Mimicking the Hilborn Catalog's look. Also tried the "Fin" idea ..... matching the vintage valve covers, but I thought it looked like the old " Cal-Custom design....and not to my taste. Especially the way the top lid looked. Much thicker than the bottom & just look out of proportion

So were going with these fonts and pocket grove lines. What do ya think?

I like these, especially the way you still kept that vintage look on them, which I believe is something that everybody would like.

Decision

The decision to go with the opposing fonts was inspired by the catalog ...Below.
I think the Hilborn in " Hood ornament" font's was hard to read also. Good Input ....Thanks

These look great and love the period feel. My only comment is the letter spacing between the I & j in "Injection" is too close and should be consistent with the other letter forms.
I'm an art director in publishing and look at type all day, just my 2C.
Can't wait to see the final product.
