I need an image I can cut of a "Tin Lizzy", a 1914 Ford Model "T") Looks something like the car "Goofy" and "Mr. Magoo" drive. (Not a cartoon one.)

Does anyone know where I can get one tonight?

I don't mind paying for it, I just can't find one.

The Edit: I added the correct date of the car.

Steve,
If you haven't gotten your image yet, call me at work tomorrow and remind me. 810-664-3812. I have a customer that has old cars and we have taken pics of a few of his cars, vectorized them, cut them out of alumalite, and then vinyled them to look like the real thing. The previous owner of the shop did 17 and I have done 3. He then has mounted them on the outside of some of his 5 barns that he keeps these cars in. I know she did some old, plain cars like Fords but I am not sure they are Model T's.

(I did a Packard that won the Pebble Beach, Ca. car show, a French car called a Bantam, and some Phaeton xxx).

Laura & Ron,

Thank you both very, very much.

I'm new to the vinyl end of this business and don't realize I sometimes have what I need just a mouse click away.

I have Corel Draw 11, Flexi Pro 7.5 and Adobe Ill. 10 but I didn't know how to do a vector image from any of them. I broke down and read the books and found I just needed to trace the "Tin Lizzy" and it would be a Vector drawing that I could cut.

I installed the signs today in the pouring rain and they look GREAT!!!

Thank you guys again.

Steve
P.S. Laura, that cut out thing with the cars sounds really neat, do you think I could call you sometime and find out just how you do it?
