I've attached a vector pdf file of that Ford GT logo- any sign place could cut any color vinyl to whatever size you want. I can email an .eps file if you like.
You'll have to stick it on the car one letter at a time to align visually with the round windshield. (As an example, when I put the Dunlop logo on my old Turbo Cup car, that had to be put on one letter at a time to look right on the curved bumper.)

That's great, thanks! I was able to open the PDF with Adobe Illustrator and round off the 3 squared-off inside 'curves' 
and I think I can determine the windshield's radius and then modify the logo in Illustrator so the whole decal of letters lays correctly right off the printer so no eyeballin' needed 
... that's where I go awry

Hmmm. When I zoom in, it's clear that's not the real logo- a few glitches in it. I don't remember where I got it!
Real logo or not, it looks correct enough to me
Here are the square inside corners vs my rounding of them:

Just a thought for you newbies. You can get a windshield skin for your GT's. Consider - glass is probably $2K or more now. plus to do it right, both fenders must come off (this is a pain in the ass due to the fender liners). A skin is probably now $250-300, maybe more. Good protection. I would get a skin and put your decals on top of it.
An eBay seller says they can make the decal using an Adobe Illustrator vector file I provide, and he's quite inexpensive. I'll finish curving the letters, order one from him, and let you know how it works out. If good, I'll give you his eBay name and you can buy direct from him telling him to use the Illustrator file I sent, but use blue

The exact dimensions of the Windshield Eyebrow on my Ford GT are: white background 7 inches high and 43 inches wide across The windshield. The blue letters are 4 1/4 inches tall with 2 inches between each letter. Obviously spacing will be different according to the numbers of letters, I felt the letters FORD were enough as like the race cars so it would distinguish it is a Ford!

Yep. I like yours too
and might even change to it instead ... I'm gonna photochop a rough mockup on my car and see which I like better, then decide. Even if I go with yours, I'll still have the FORD GT vector file, for anybody here to use.
