That is the problem with most reproduction parts, they produce and sell what is most commonly found or used as second design parts and not necessarily assembly line parts as they can cover a much broader audience as well as more years combined.

I just got my paper copy of MuscleCar Review with Jamie Cooper striping this bad ass ride on the cover!!!

I will be off the grid for a little while, an actual car magazine has so much real goodness inside!! (Of course I love the inteweb but a car magazine has some soul that can’t be reproduced just like a shift boot)

Our car had a Kentucky inspection decal on the window dated 1970. In the interest of keeping the car's history intact I hired a company to make the reproduction decal. I worked very close with the gentleman who made it demanding an exact copy and he got it as close as he could. It is really not as close as I wanted it but I have not been able to find anyone else who can make them so it will have to do for now. I guess I am just a little pickier than most.

Rick,

I wouldn't be happy with that sticker either. Have you ever tried ECS in St Louis for stickers? I had good luck with them on a conformance label for my TA several years ago.

I wouldn't be satisfied with that inspection tag either. A professional should have been able to do a lot better.

The good thing is the old will never be near the new one the windshield so nothing to compare to. Unfortunately its one of those, "I know its not right so it will bug the crap out of me" things.

Totally see your point Rick. One would think that just things like font changes to make it exactly right for someone who does this for a living should be relatively easy changes. Beautiful car and congrats on the purchase and project of a lifetime.

Look forward to seeing the car at MCACN
