I think I have some.  I'll get back with you by tomorrow.  Have to dig through some coffee cans in the garage.

This is what I found.  For some reason, I'm missing a D and have an extra E.  I'll look again tomorrow to see if there is one in another can.  These have been sitting in a coffee can since 1979.  They are in decent shape.  Not show condition.  I can try to take better pictures if you need them.

The finish on the O is a little faded.

Those don't look like hood letters.  The hood letters are very thin.  Those look like the tail panel letters for the 72-74 cars.

I believe your right. Nice catch!

You are probably right.  I might have picked these up back in the day when we walked the junk yards.  I just looked at Jack's Auto parts site and they do look a little thicker.  Hard to tell.  I only owned a 70 Challenger.

DOGEE  ??? You might be able to get away with FORR or CHEHY, but Dodge owners are a bit more astute.
