Vintage race graphics: Creative input anyone?
All,
As I get ever closer to getting the Homemade 911 back out on course, I've been playing with different decal layouts. What I thought I'd do is go for a period, european "FIA-style" look...that said, I've been experimenting with different period-sponsor logos for placement on the door directly below the door handle - there's a reason for this: I have some paint/prep issues limited to about a 10" round area here on the passenger door. Since I'm anxious to get back out there, I figure I can take this particular wart up with the body/paint guy later...ergo, cover it up for the time being.:D
Anyway, I've attached a sketch with one proposed decal layout. I know there's a huge amount of creative talent running amok around here, and I value your collective input...I could use some "different eyeballs" here.
so, what d'yawl think? Thanks so much in advance for taking the time...looking forward to your comments.
cheers

further clarification(s) on sketch
Jared (et al)
Thanks for the feedback...it all helps.
Just some notes on some of the drawing "details" if you will:
1. I got this 911 side view from a buddy a while back: with the original file, you were able to raise/lower the image & change colors, and not much else...however the illustrator did the wheels waaay too big - I have no control over that one. My joke is that the illustrator must own a Cadillac Escalade, fitted w/26" bling-bling rims. :cool:
2. black window trim: Same basic deal as above; can't change it. My car has the normal bright aluminum trim, found on the '68s. I won't be messing around with that - I like the brightwork.
3. Number fonts - I agree...jury's still out on the one I used. I'm a big fan of serif fonts; but it's tough to find one that really "works". I might go back to something a little "thicker & italic"
4. R lights - ditto. not in the budget right now... :(
5. A through-the-hood centerfill cap would be totally cool. I have an older, 15 galllon Fuel Safe cell in the car now, the filler neck is perfectly oriented down the center-line. again, it ain't quite in the budget right now...
6. wings - got a Whitney catalog I can look at? :D
again, thanks for the input.
cheers
