Default Gulf Inspired 951 T-Shirts - Gauging Interest

I have a Friend who is a graphic artist and we were playing around with the Vintage "Gulf" logo........below is a early rendition.....the "951 font is not finalized.

Post back to this thread if you'd be interested.....

Additionally, the way it is designed we can change the "951" to any Porsche Model # in about 30 seconds.

i say just use the font that the badges were done in for the "944", "turbo", or the sticker that was on the "924S". you know for a "factory" look.

dont know what program your friend is using, but im sure he can find and download the porsche font somewhere on the inter-web.

the gulf logo is also cool and retro. try a "martini" inspired design? or "rothmans"?

Yeah I would be interested.

But if there is a Rennlist and Gulf inspired 951, I say you contact Slantnose and inquire about and use something, or something similar, from Marc's car too.

Can there be a better Gulf 951 than that?

I have been thinking about " using " a similar livery, with some changes of course, for my 944.

Slantnose's car is shown here in the 951 thread. This is not my car.

I'd buy a shirt with a pic on that car on it.

And yeah, I've considered a similar paint scheme for my track car as well.

Love that car.
