I would be proud too......I think it's neat that hotrodding embraces these dying arts......like the recent thread on 40's/ 50's/ 60's advertising art. Technology has largely replaced the hands on aspect ...inevitable but sad.
that web address is some kind of scam, i tried it twice same scam both times you win something each time, yea right
Old sign guys and artists used a process called ''kerning'' to adjust the optical spacing between letters. In the example of the hotrod cover notice the distance of the T needs to be adjusted so it looks correct. You can't always just take the fonts as typed.
Kerning, tracking and leading is just as important today, though it is much easier today with computers. Seeing the mock cover I posted was an example I wasn't waisting more than the 15 minutes on it.

I'm sure one of these will work. I tried to post samples, but I kept getting errors. I'll leave it to you to check them out. But thanx again gang, Gary
