Looks good Bill.
I would emphasise to anyone who hasn't tried it though that hand lettering by brush is harder than it sounds, you'd be well advised to try a practice piece first.
On my car the number is painted directly on the tail and the consequences of failure were too awful to contemplate. I used a self-adhesive stencil from Classic Transfers and can thoroughly recommend them (in quite a nice font too). Happily if the signwriting is done well it makes the rest of the paint job look good too!
Not promoting the idea, but for what it's worth I know at least one car which has been running around with the wrong font size for decades and never been pulled over.
