Help needed! - Formula lettering size and position

I'm going to strip and repaint my black '88 Formula. I want to do the lettering and birds in red, and I am going to paint them over the base coat before shooting the clear, rather than use decals. The car has already been repainted (badly) at least twice (

), and none of the original markings are left.

I have the font for the lettering, and can cut my own stencils. But I don't know the OEM correct measurements.

Can I ask someone with a 305 Formula with OEM markings, to do some measurements?

How tall is the "FORMULA" door lettering?
How far back is "FORMULA" positioned from the front edge of the door?
How far up is the bottom of "FORMULA" from the bottom edge of the door?
How tall are the sail panel birds?
How far back is the bird from the edge of the window opening?
How far up is the bottom of the bird from the "break line" at the bottom of the sail panel?
How tall is the nose bird?
