Default Re: trim tags for sell

FYI..
I am a purist as well but,I had a friend restoring his old Chevrolet.He destroyed his Trim Tag with a grinder.He thought it was a heavier metal.
I called trimtags.com,and sent them $175.00 and what exactly I wanted the trim tag to say.We did not deviate at all from the original specs.They will also take the old one as a guide if you prefer.
10 days later the New trim tag arrived and is indistinguishable from the original.It comes with original splash rivets.They Guaruntee if anyone can tell it is a newer one,you get a full refund.This company was very helpful in this situation and is why they exist today,but yes,there are times when the owner said he does not know if the tag he is making is for the owner to pass it off as the real deal.
These are legal to reproduce in our world today,and can be helpful for people like my friends resto.who accidentally destroyed the Original.

Mr. 70 you have a very valid point. And that is good for resto people who need help with a damaged tag. The unscroupulous people will try to do things but we have to become so knowledgable about these cars that those
who play games will lock the doors when they see us coming
