I think Booster Dewey has units on the shelf ready to ship out. I had him redo my OG, he does beautiful work.

I would like the repops much better if they didn't put the Delco Moraine on them. I categorize this right there with repop'ed Trim Tags. Folks are just trying to fool others with fake stamps. Just my opinion.

With that opinion you must think people that put repop emblems on are also in the same category as repop trim tags. They're trying to fool everyone that they have the original emblems. Date coded windshields too. The humanity...

It is a slippery slope for sure. Once you start down it, its very easy to get swept away.

The only time I dont like the repop booster is when I see it on a high dollar/rare car thats been restored. Especially when you can pretty much buy a good used one and have it restored.
