Mystery Motor Corvette

[Lizard Racing]

I just finished my Mystery Motor Corvette.  The Hot Rod article gave me the fever to do one.  Some in-progress pix are in the workbench forum.

My model with one of the few period photos.

 

The engine, which is the whole point of the project.

It looks like you found a pretty good match for the Mickey Thompson font on the rear quarter. What font did you use.? i could not find a suitable one to make decals with.

Very accurate build. Looks just like the picture.

I think there were three different fonts used to duplicate the signage.  Considerable effort went in to using a similar look and the proper size.  M/T couldn't just use regular fonts.  Notice his name is the largest.

Below is the image I used to print the decal.  Anyone please fee to use it.  If you need the Word document, I can e-mail it to you.
