OK, my $.02 on this. I'm a graphic artist by profession. A few years ago I actually started creating the "Correct" typeface to use on reproduction window stickers and VIN decals on the drivers door. That same font could also be used on Build Sheets. It's not really all that difficult; it just takes tons of time. Bill Pritchard and a few other guys from Team Chevelle may recall my discussions on the Chevelle site at that time. A couple of things happened before I finished the project. First, my personal life took a turn. (Long, boring story.) The second thing was, I started thinking of the eventual consequences of this project. For whatever reason, I dumped the idea and I'm more comfortable about that decision everyday. Someone else may eventually tackle and complete this, but the burden of deceit will be on their shoulders; not mine.
For what it's worth, I also had reproduction window stickers for 1968, 69 & 70 that, in my opinion, are more correct than any of the others I've seen offered to date. And yes, I used originals for my example......... ones that I know are authentic because they came from my cars. Maybe someday I WILL have those made available but for now we'll just sit back and see how the 'Hobby Police' handle these situations.

good for you, Dennis. fake paper sucks! ![]() SS [/ QUOTE ] My sentiments exactly! Fake paper misleads even well informed buyers of vehicles and this is plain wrong! If you wish to continue making these "reproduction" buildsheets, might I suggest as Mike has, please put "reproduction" on them because just because you made it for someone else could be seen as you helping to perpetrate a fraud/misrepresentation, in law its called constructive notice! |
