Anyone have pics of original windwings and sunvisors?
I'm looking to duplicate the "Cobra" lettering that is on both of these pieces on an original car. If you have something can you please post it or send it to me at fzabski@technologyrevealed.com
Thanks in advance. |

It might be cheaper to just buy them from Shelby. They are still used on the current cars.

Certainly an option to look into. Would I call them direct? Problem is I have them already installed on my car but again it's worth a call.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Tried doing it with vinyl letters. The plotter couldn't cut them that small without messing up. The other distinct detail I noticed was that the edges were all nicely rounded off; again, hard to replicate with ordinary grinders and needed a lot of elbow grease.
Pls. show us how you make out?

jcoop, I will certainly keep you guys up to date.
So it sounds like you found the font but the plotter was the issue.
Mind sharing the font info and/or source?

And try taking the pieces to a trophy shop with a laser engraver, I'm pretty sure they can do this type work.
