Who Should I Contact?
I am looking for the font that was used to write "Formula" on my car. I know that the "Goodtimes" font is close. But I want it to be perfect.
Who should I contact at GM to see if they could provide me with the correct font? Names, phone numbers, & email addresses would be wonderful.
Thanks!

Re: Who Should I Contact?
If you have a template, you can have print/graphics shop do the work (the shop might be able to work with a pic). I had "5.7 Liter HO" decals made for the rockers and rear bumper as well as the air cleaner. I couldn't have asked for a better job. Check my Car Details below for a pic of the air cleaner.

Re: Who Should I Contact?
Goodtimes is the correct font it is just not split into 2 lines like the Formula on your car is. I guess the main question is , What are you trying to do? If it is something that can be typed in Goodtimes, then a good grahic artist can then modify the final copy to reflect the correct split line design of the Formula writing.

Re: Who Should I Contact?
Thanks for everyone's help.
I don't have a picture of what I want. But on the doors I want "FORMULA 383SC". And on the hood bulge I want "6.2 LITER F.I.".

Re: Who Should I Contact?
Can you find me a pic of what you are wanting the final result to look like? I need to know what the end result looks like, before I can start.

Re: Who Should I Contact?
Goodtimes is NOT the exact font, but it is close. The A for example is more spread on the Decal, the O is longer, the letters are not rounded.
If you look at the picture I have below...
The Top BLACK is exactly what it should be
The Brown is Good Times unaltered
The Blue is Goodtimes scrunched... You can clearly see some differences
PM me.

Re: Who Should I Contact?
Here is a picture of the stock door decal. (I apologize to whoever this car belongs to. It was easier to use a picture already posted than to go out & take a picture of mine.)
Also, here is a picture I found of a decal set for a Formula. It shows the hood bulge decals.

Re: Who Should I Contact?
FORTUNATELY I am a Formula nut, so several years ago I actually MADE my Formula font... I modified it a little for you but here... Free of Charge.
The 6.2L VHO was something that I made a few years back

Re: Who Should I Contact?
Those are from a company that makes decals, the decal is not exact... notice on my FORMULA image the R&M are actually touching, look at the image there and you will see they touch, but the White area is not connected... Mine is correct.
