I recommend this photographic process but not the place I sent mine:

It is cheaper than by hand and looks really good.

You may wish to consider Bill Gratkowski in Titusville, PA ([email protected]). He uses the original method and has a huge selection of the metal screens used in that method.

That space is way up in the corner of the red field behind the stadium, where he's been forever.

trainguy, I do wood graining same as original and have many of the original transfer plates. I work for Honest Charley Garage and we offer wood graining as a service. I have a few of my projects in my albums here on the Ford Barn so feel fre to check them out.
I will also be at Carlisle and Hershey so stop by and visit with me, I will be at the Coker Tire/ Honest Charley Speed Shop booths.
