I thought so but wasn't sure. Thanks for clarifying.

I'm haveing one made for my car and don't have any second thoughts about it. This car will never be considered good enough for the so called experts. It's a nice driver and thats all it will ever be. And that little peice of tin isn't going to make it worth 10 cents more then it is. It's only going on to please myself. It's a basic no option car it's non matching number hell it's got a 440 not even the correct 383 in it. So when it's time to sell it will be Joe average just looking for a fun driver.And all he's going to care about is it being a big block 4 speed that looks great at the cruise night and a blast to burn the tires off.

Fair enough. I guess since all my cars are Hamtramck or Windsor, and post-68 I was being naive

I buy cars i like and the only numbers that matter to me is that the vin matches my registration.

---

That's all fine, but you do understand the paradox in your statements I hope? If numbers mean NOTHING to you (again; fine) then why bother with the fake tag.



I'm not trying to bust your chops, I just don't understand the rationale.

ummm If I had the original, why would I need an inaccurate repo?

---

It might be rusty and you would not want to use it on a newly restored car. Put in lock box and run the repo. At least thats what I did.

---

I tried to put it on the car but it kept falling off !!

C'mon Bill, little bit of silicon and you'd be good to go!

Right you are! Great; now we have another think that kids in 10 years are going to get a blank look when you mention them. Pennies? just like records, tapes and typewriters!

fake tags are a scrounge that does nothing but devalue your car even with the guru's holy blessings

I think you meant "scourge" "Scrouge" is when my neighbor comes and leaves with something from my garage!

Wouldn't that be scrounge?

Note to self; when you are going to poke fun at someone for a grammatical error, check to make sure your fat fingered typing is correct!

I'll admit that it's not possible to build a fender tag for a car from BS for cars from Lynch Road. I would have hard time thinking that you could do it for St Louis. Luckily for me my two B bodies out of those plants have theit BS and tags.

But I'm mostly a Challenger guy and all mine are from Hamtramck. I'm pretty sure with the BS you can code out a correct tag.

---

i hate to point out the obvious but
its not possible to reverse engineer a tag from a sheet from any plant!

Please enlighten us.

What item on a Hamtramck tag is not on the BS?

you made the claim...

how can you with 100% certainty reproduce a tag from a buildsheet?
do you own a crystal ball?
tarot cards?
do you call miss cleo???
whats the trick?
unless you have the original tag to copy, you are sol!
it is only a guess and nothing more....

since frankenduster isn't around to kick me in the nads over it
i got lazy with the spell check

Cause when i look under the hood i want to see it. And not have to listen to every so called expert at a cruise night bust my balls cause the tag is gone. Your right i don't care about numbers matching but i do like them to look orignal as possible. Granted i can't hide the Holley street dominator intake and 750 Holley carb but i did paint the intake stock engine color and did order the fuel line kit from Fabulous Fabracations to look more stock..

---

It's all good; I was just curious because the two schools of thought seem incongruous.
