FS: "Period Correct" Side Script and Decklid Decals

[LiveFromNY]

They are hard to find because the copyright attorneys are in full force. If you advertise them for sale you will get a letter. Also Porsche classic has them now for something like $200

These ones recently printed out of Canada until the kibosch was put on them.

Exactly, Mark. I had to reach out to several local shops until I found one willing to do it. My intent is to only offer them here under the radar and not as a business or a for-profit endeavor. Just so that our members can have access to them again.

Do you know what colors are offered by Porsche Classic?

John

Will you be offering the same gamut of colours as Bob did?

Even more, I hope.

I have an extra set of Bob Tilton’s black 911R side stripes. Message me If you want them. They are new, I’ve decided not to use them.

Thanks, but I'm only planning on doing the standard Porsche scripts.

[tcsracing1]

still making these?

So to clarify......you won't be making the famous Bob Tilton "Period Correct" Porsche side stripes? Instead you'll provide more of a "standard" Porsche script....is that correct?

I'm making the same scripts that Bob provided which were recreations of the original Porsche side scripts. I will not be making the bumper stripes that Bob evidently also provided.

I ordered a genuine set of black side scripts from Porsche this morning (porscheatlantaperimeterparts.com)
Travis the sales guy stated that they are correct for my '70 911 E and that he had a few sets in stock in the US.
Not sure what other colors they offer but he did say that the 'white ones' were a different P/N.

There was more than one supplier for stripes but this accompanied a set of white side stripes I got from PB Tweeks many moons ago.

Bob went to great lengths to get the exact details of his side scripts correct. There are far too many suppliers out there who make scripts that are 'close enough'. For my money only an exact reproduction will do, so I would only buy another set from JP since his are scans of Bob's work. Even a slight variation from correct looks wrong to my eye every time.

I agree completely. None of the existing available stripes look anything like Bob's PERIOD CORRECT side stripes.
Some are too tall, some have the wrong spacing between the letters, some have the wrong Font, some don't have the letters "squared" off enough, etc, etc.
Until I know that something like Bob's is available again, I guess I won't be buying.
The others just look wrong....even those from Porsche.

These are the closest I've found recently:
