Correct gauges can be difficult to locate. Not 100% accurate, but I am headed in the correct direction.

Making Gauge Overlays
The ‘Club Racer’
I am a sucker for General Tire colors. My “Club Racer” concept.

Recreating the Mustang Times logo
In 1988, “Mustang Times” magazine became a sponsor of the race team. This racing logo was a single tone version of their magazine cover tag.

Revisit FORMULA GP decal
I went back and revisited my Formula PG logo attempt. I was sent an unused, multi-color, FORMULA GP decal from Mark LaMaskin, I pulled measurements and angles from this sample to make my new single tone replica.
For those keeping tabs, this was an 1987 through 1989 decal.

Recreating vintage “CASC” racing logo
I was reading about Canadian motorsports history and thought this was a neat logo.

Recreating vintage “RACECRAFT” logo
I decided to make my own RACECRAFT SUSPENSION decal. Replacements are not 100% anyways.

Recreating vintage “Hunter Engineering” logo
One of the main issues I had with recreating the Hunter Engineering logo was finding as example of this vintage asset to pull measurements from. I was sent an used Hunter sticker from Mark LaMaskin, using this as a guide, I modified a standard font, built the shield in three parts, and with the handy pen tool spent time creating the man and doggie silhouettes.
For those keeping tabs, this was a 1987 and 1988 decal.

Recreating 1988 ‘Conversion’ Sticker
My drivers door was cut and gutted for weight savings.
My “paper draft #2” (right) of a new conversion decal. Font is a little too bold, but I am close to success.
My “color paper draft #1” (right) blue logo too dark, some text still too heavy. Work in progress.

“GT-40 POWER!!!”
“GT-40 Power.” The famous crazy cool tubular Ford Motorsport EFI upper intake. This example would be a later version introduced after the original came to the US market in 1991 (or 1992?). Though, my example is a non-Lightning production-style manifold introduced in 1993. So… mine falls in the middle.
(Ignore the garbage silver paint job, not my doing.)

Creating “vintage-style” logos for Big Valley Ford
I’m a fan of pre-1970s racing cars. When a competition vehicle could be purchased from a new car dealer, driven on the street and race competitively while being a real motor vehicle.
During the 1950s and 1960s it was common to see dealer sponsors featured on competition vehicles of all sorts… either for a particular event, series of events, the entire season etc.
The 1988 Saleen Mustang remains that I have, appear to have begun as a dealer stock sales unit for Bill Valley Ford in California. So, with some brainstorming I decided to create a faux dealer logo for Big Valley… inferring they were a performance dealer… and bringing back to life the 1960s Ford Motor Company cross flags Thunderbird icon.
