The font I have for the Troyer #6 is called," He's Dead Jim", with a heighth adjustment.Gater will confirm this is an actual font name. Everything else on Maynard's Pintos, were hand lettered by Bob "Spook" Sparklin.

Is "Spook" still around? I used to race slot cars with him, at 'Model Raceways' on Dewey Ave in Rochester, around '65-'66........

leadfoot4   I am pretty sure "Spook" passed away about 5 - 6 years ago. He did most of my cars, he was a freehand genius.
