Default I have created a C3 font. Hope U like it

Here is my take on the Stingray 1969-76 fender font and the Corvette namplate for 1968-75.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/soxa0bcr4c...ingrayFont.zip

It has taken me some time to make them, it is a full alphabet so I hope someone finds it useful

Primoz, you can download an app called " what the font" which might help you find a similar font. Please keep in mind our world of fonts as we know them today were not the norm back then. Letterstyles as they were called were available but many were created by hand. I'm not sure how they did it in the auto industry but computerized letterstyles didn't hit the main stream sign industry until the 1980's even then it was not widely accepted by hand letterers.

*** you can see, the App even takes into consideration the irregularities of the painted piece.
