-----Verne,,,I understand what you and others say about cowl tags but in the interests of fairness, they do deteriorate (corrosion and simple damage) and sometimes it would seem that a repro would be in order. Also, well meaning owners that have either started or completed restos that have removed their cowl tags to paint their cars (I know, I know, a mistake but frequently done) and then misplaced the tags need some way to rectify their problem. There was a cowl tag pictured on this sight just the other day that had eroded badly, and the rivets were also in horrible shape. What happens to the guy who wants to do a complete and correct resto on that car??? If the cowl tag rivets and cowl tags are banned I guess honest guys are just out of luck??? Seems to me that we would be throwing the baby out with the bath water. Obviously, not everyone is honest but why should honest guys loose out???
-------You may have read between the lines and noticed that I dont mention redone serial # tags. I do agree with everyone that those have no place on a car unless totally done legally and with legal supervision but we know that just doesnt happen.........Bill S
