Thanks to Jeff for getting these done & fast. I think we scanned this cab just over a week ago & stencils already avail. Excited to bring this one back to life finally.

Quoted from CPR:CAD just wrapping up on the Cheetah PF, should be cutting in a week or so. We're cutting Flight 2000 at the same time to take advantage of the reconfigure of the CNC table to wide body clamping positions and we should have some ready to print before Xmas..... don't think they'll fit in your stocking though lol

This is awesome news on both fronts. I have wanted a new PF for a F2K I picked up in the spring & hopefully I can talk buddy into a Cheetah PF for the one I'm restoring for him right now.
Thanks for your effort on these!

Original PF out of this factory Blue Cab Cheetah I am currently restoring had all blue bonus inserts for what it's worth...... two of them have somewhat color shifted toward a violet color after 40+ years, but were all Blue from Stern. There is no conceivable reason whey Stern would have used a bunch of different colors in a solid row of inserts on the bonus countdown unless it was an accident when installing inserts at factory. These original inserts tend to change color a but based on their history, where it has been stored, amount of UV light, amount of bulb heat they have seen etc.
Blue cab models "should" have all blue inserts & black cab models "should" have green inserts to match the green & black cab colors. Did some leave factory with different combo? More than likely..... if they had some blue insert PF's done & ready when cabs switched to black, I don't think they were going to scrap them & wait to make a run of green insert PF's. They were just trying to make $ & keep the doors open, not shoot for perfection.
I keep forgetting to take pic of original PF, but it's sitting in my shop right now & probably will be for sale by owner after the new PF is in the game. It's actually in pretty nice shape, just has some shrunk inserts & minor touch ups that would be needed to be addressed.

For those who want to compare CPR VS Original
This is NOT CPR's clear. I re-cleared it, even though the CPR clear was pretty nice.
