Any interest in a "correct" deck lid Posi Decal?

[Don_Lightfoot]

This started over on Team Chevelle and got my investigation side thinking. Rick Pauley (RixLS6) has provided numerous pictures of his original decal. There are currently two reproductions available, one with a date and one without. The two “font styles” used on the reproductions are not anywhere near correct – see pictures below. Granted, you would have to be fairly close to see the differences. In addition to the fonts, the overall size of the repro is not correct, nor the margins on the four sides to the printed area.

I have been making some various decals for a number of years and thought I would take a whack at this one. The two fonts used on the original are by no means common and are not available anywhere for free, obviously due to copyright issues with the original publishers. The costs to download the fonts are $24.75 for one and $279.00 for the other. Licenses for the fonts are included in those prices. Not at all practical if making a single decal for yourself.

Rick and I are thinking of going together to cover the font costs, but would like to get an idea from fellow enthusiasts as to the interest in a “correct” decal. The current reproductions cost about $3 plus shipping. We are thinking of maybe $5 plus mailing for ours. I don’t know for sure just what models and years this decal was used, but I think it would be very widespread. If we could recover enough to pay for our up-front costs then it would be a worthwhile exercise and provide an additional item as an option to a non proper repro piece. If enough get sold to give us a little beer money then that would be good also.

We are posting this to get some kind of feedback as to the benefit of such a product. Please feel free to comment. Thank you.
