Dave, no more Pm's
That is what happens when you have a run in with a moderator......you know, the guys who really have no business taking active part in these threads. They can dish it out but they can't take it. Rules only apply when they are in parallel to their particular agenda. You bruise or brush up against their ego and they wait for any opportune time to react! Quite honestly I think that a governing or supervising body has no business rubbing elbows (and in some instances instigating) with their subjects. Remember the chaperons on college trips? Of course you don't! They were not mingling with those they were in charge of overseeing. They stayed on the perimeter and did their job when things got out of hand. I don't remember them drinking and chumming it up with the guys or picking up girls...... Its called a conflict of interest!
Anyway, I have made the tags you are talking about. I never got around to advertising or promoting them. I will have Jon D. post a couple of sample pictures tomorrow.

BTW Dave, YOU NAILED that decal reproduction, NICE WORK!
I don't know, but from an artist's point of view, I think I see some stuff that's not 100%.

By all means, feel free to fix it!
By the way....how many times in your "artistic" life do you think you have written your name (twice) the exact same way?
Actually, I could.
If your arguement is that Carter could have had more than one vendor for their labels... Then yes, you'd be correct.
If they had only one vendor, and the printer used the same printing plates every time they printed the label (as is common practice)... Then the label should be the same every time. Well, there could be slight color variations due to ink and pressure variables. But the Trademark and registration symbols shouldn't change like these appear to. And their seems to be a very, very slight font issue and maybe a slight issue with the little car logo... But it is hard to tell in the pic.
Over all, it is a VERY nice reproduction with nice art work. The minor variations that I see certainly wouldn't be noticed while stuck on a carb on an engine in a car. However, I'd be sweetin' it out if I was using it as documentation to get in and out of a country.

Dave, I thought you mentioned somewhere before that items such as paper tags and wire harness tags will be replaced with reproductions where necessary?
I'm still very facinated by the whole concept of this project, but like most people...I wish you were doing it to a nicer type of car 
So far, just about every decal has been in excellent condition and will not need to be replaced. The originals have cleaned up very nicely. I will post some grouped pictures of the tags when I get a chance. (I don't think I should abandon the project or call it a failure if a label or two needs to be replaced. There will be plenty of time for criticizing and bashing after the show. Lets wait and see what actually happens between now and then!)
A nicer car? This will end up blowing the Cuda and Challenger away! If you mean more of a "performance" car....been there done that! It is time that the Chrysler hobby has the essence and backbone of it's heritage commemorated. Those were the type of cars that helped build the Chrysler Corporation. If anything, the Hemis and SixPacks were a loss leader for them. Image and corporate recognition was the purpose for those cars. The Six cylinder Valiant was the quintessential cornerstone that the company was built on in the late sixties and early seventies. Don't take my word for it Alan. I was told this about three months ago by the Vice President of Operations for Chrysler!

You guys, please keep in mind that Dave made those carb decals for me as a favor (read, no charge, just being a nice guy). If I use 50 sets of them in my lifetime I'll be surprised, nobody will be making a cent from them. So, with that in mind I am not going to nit pick over some extrememly minor font issues that I'm sure Dave could fix if he were pushed to (which he won't be). *But Dave, don't think you're off the hook on your other reproductions, you can count on me to look for every inconsistancy I can find....Booha, Boohhahaha! Boohahahahha!

You guys have too much time on your hands... Now you should debate whether "high level restorations" means: to original standards (which weren't very high). or to modern standards, where all the flaws are corrected (like the ugly yellowed washer bottles!)
