Default Enhanced Build Sheet

Finally found a font that matches. I just scanned the original, magnified it in a photo editor and retyped the information. Turned out pretty good.

Here is the original:



Here is the enhanced version:

No...I would lose all the factory markings. I just wanted to make it easier to read, not a pristine copy.

Hi gg,
I think part of the fun is figuring out what the original says. Not wondering if something's been added on the new one.
Regards,
Alan

It's for my own use and if and when I ever sell the car I will give the new owner the original and an enhanced copy, so there will be no wondering. Now after looking at it again there isn't room to add anything.

Hi

Look great and good idea.

It was selfexplanatory that the original tank sticker was not overwritten, but only a scanned copy.

Nobody will ever post his intention of fraud on this forum .

Why not simply accepting what members post here without accusing one ?

I got a fake window sticker for shows ( and fun ) and hope that I get away without prison.

Nice job... makes sense.. makes having a copy of documents even better because you can read them. So... did you take an image and then overlay the text? Came out really good...

It looks fine to me. Where did you find a typewriter? Or am I living in the 1970s? (Must be one of those fancy, modern editing programs I suspect.)

I've never looked for the tank sticker. I will this spring.

g-g,

Look's great and time well spent.

These folk's in here get a little nervous when one starts to play around with original doc's....but, I wouldn't let that bother you. You knew what you were doing, and did a great job at it as well. I would not be surprised to see your PM box fill up quickly with other's seeking to do the same, and for the same purpose. Readability.


Stay in tune....

I created a "text box" for each word or series of numbers, then positioned it over the original text.

No typewriter involved. All done on the computer. The original is untouched.
