I would really appreciate if you can share your template with me, I need to do the lettering on my 72E (converted to 73 RSR) soon.

I cam up with the idea of using glad press-n-seal as a release layer between the decklid and masking tape:





Note the letters aren't in a stright line, they have a slight arc. Not to mention the posts are in somewhat random locations, making it tough to transfer the locations. Last time I did this to the Aluminum lid on Project Heavy Metal it took forever doing it with transferring measurements. This was far easier and way more accurate.



This gave the template a 3D shape and allowed me to trim to the edges and get the alignment perfect on the "new" lettered lid:







For Johan, a glamour shot for inspiration:

Just an FYI for anyone needing to do this in the future. This worked great. In case it wasn't totally clear, the press-n-seal goes directly on the pattern lid, then you put the strips of masking tape on that to make the 3D pattern.
