Here is a start
Also, the font you want for making the large foam stencil is Gloucester Bold

I just used rattle can enamel paint. Sprayed it out on an old Tee shirt to use as a ink pad so to speak.
Stamps I had made at rubberstampchamp.com

Its not exact,,I spaced the lettering out to much. And the font could be a touch bolder. But ,,,I'm not going to change it now. The onwer is going to drive the snot out of this car.
But here is the result.

Bill- do you order these as one stamp? Or do you buy 0-9 so you can create any combination of numbers?

I need "755" for my GTX 18 spline and wasn't sure how I should go about it. Since I go through a bunch of A833 transmissions, I'm guessing it would be better to have them all. How did the plant do it?

Its all on one stamp. They're cheap enough If I need something else,,I'll get more.

Axle date code stamp is the same way. This one I actually guessed at. When I cleaned it up there was something there,,but it was unreadable.
So its not OE correct,,I was after the look more so than dead nuts oe correct. Then again the hsg is powder coated and OE was never my intention,,driving it was.

BTW,, this particular cas has a July 4th 1969 SBD

I forget to mention. The yellow is actually silk screeners ink. I use it on heater boxes to .

The white is cheap hardware store enamel paint. I ran out of silk screeners ink in white,,and tried the paint method above in a pinch, It worked so I used it. In the future, I might get more ink in white,,I might not.
