Looking for detailed info about Al Segrini's Black Magic funny car Vega paint scheme

[peteski]

I'm creating a new (more accurate) decal artwork for the AMT model. It is such a nice looking car. I have found several photos on the Web but I'm surprised just how few of them are out there. This is for the initial paint scheme of this car (not the later fancier one). It is difficult to judge certain colors (even in color photos). BTW, I'm not very familiar with funny cars in general.

Here are some things I'm looking for:

Is the AL SEGRINI lettering white, gray or silver?
Is the outline around Black Magic white, gray or silver? Someone told me it was chrome-colored.
Is the shaded fill in the Black Magic lettering metallic or just plain paint?
What is the color of the fill in Black Magic lettering? Is it going from black to blue?
What does the front of the rear spoiler look like? Orange and black? Any sponsor stickers on it?
The lettering on the C-pillar in the AMT decal shows AA F/C when the 1:1 car shows AA/FC (did AMT mess that one up)?

Again, the 106 on the C-pillar, is it white, gray or silver?

The colored stripe on the body side (one which crosses the rear wheel opening): It seems to be red. But what color is the outline? Is it orange or yellow?
The large ATI logo on the side, is that white, gray or silver?

What colors is the magic lamp on the hood?

What colors is the lettering on the front spoiler? Similar to the Black Magic lettering on the sides?

I guess in order to answer some of these questions (like color silver vs. white vs. gray) the car had to be seen in-person.

Thanks,
Peteski

The guys at Worm Inc., Grantville, PA might be of help. They have built a couple nostalgia funny cars and I think they did one of this car. Their number is 717-469-9676.

Thanks for the info guys! Nothing specific, but at least I have some more leads.

The decal set I want to do is for the early car (1974). This one:

This one is also the subject of Mark Killingsworth's model on the Pro Tech site (it is an excellent model - thanks for the pointer).

If I do come up with the decals, can print few extra sets for interested members. I won't print too many as the orange ink for Alps printers is very hard to get, but couple of sets should not be a problem.
