i took the plunge and used the stencils i made up with a vinyl cutter i have access to. kinda relived i didn't use them for the final product because the vinyl turned out to be some kind of laminated paper that disintegrate when wet. i managed to turn the waterproof transfer paper into a stencil to use and it all turned out ok

now what have you been up to in this time?

Not a lot unfortunately. Imported and fitted new wiper motor that's about it unfortunately. I'm up to the expensive issue of finding half doors. Plenty overseas but shipping is a nightmare.

You should try refinishing your hood. The peeling clear coat is a bit of an eye sore. You could try cheap alternatives like rolling the paint on or just spray painting it. With the proper prep work and a few youtube videos, you could come out with a pretty good finish. And for the numbers, just buy vinyl decals. Don't use electrical tape.. Vinyl decals would probably be $10 more than a roll of tape.
