Window Sticker Restoration
My original window sticker was pretty yellowed and taped together after 45 years but I wanted to make a copy to place in the window at the cruise-ins this summer. A little Photoshop, a little work, a lot of strange fonts... and this is the result. Close enough enough even Ford would not know the difference.

Every time I do good the wife tosses me a biscuit and scratches me behind the ears. Woof Woof!
Of course I've had a lot of practice. I booted up my first graphics program way back in about 1990. Corel 2 as I recall, running under DOS 2.0, using a 14 inch VGA monitor at 640/480. 16 colors! I was running that on a Unisys 386 with 3 meg (that's meg) of ram and a 40 meg hard drive. That system cost the company I worked for something like $8,000.
That must sound totally absurd to someone your age.

4reboy that would be a dot matrix printer with the "holes on the side". Oh and Honeygold I know what you're talking about with the computer. I remember when I was in college and my brother decided he needed a laptop (1994) and he spent 4,000 for a laptop that would be a major paperweight compared to what I'm selling now.
Great looking job on the window sticker, maybe you should start "restoring" or "rendering" window stickers on the side. 8)

Actually, I don't mind making one for anyone with a 65. All I have to do is change the text. PM me with an equipment list and prices. I would also need the VIN and the dealer name and address. I can send it to you as a PDF file, which most any computer should be able to handle.
