I am restoring a 68 GTX. I have been doing GM stuff for ever. This is my first MOPAR. So I too have tried to educate my self on some of this stuff. I must say I have never seen a group that is so suspicious. They think everyone that ask a question about a broadcast sheet or fender tag is up doing something shady??? Like you have a bunch of blank broad cast sheets you are getting ready to print off.

since this type of topic (documentation)was just thrashed out over in the restoration forum i'll just quote A12 excellent reply about everyone being gun shy - "Here's the point I think JohnRR was trying to make but as always these threads take a turn for the worse. For years with the A12 cars we had many, many threads on "painted or unpainted" fender tags on A12 or Lynch Road assembled cars and the more we discussed the tags the more we found newly made tags that were not original but getting so good that it was getting hard to tell. Well we realized that the makers of tags were following right along and even asking questions of how can you tell the differences? That's when we decided that if we wanted to know something about a specific tag that we would discuss it by PM, email or phone so that we could at least keep some of the telltales from being discovered. Wouldn't it be nice if you could get on a public forum with the U.S. Treasury and asked them how you could make your "reprint" money so good that even they couldn't spot your "reprint". And you could tell them that the only reason that you wanted to "reprint" a couple of million was because you had it in a nice suitcase but the suitcase got lost or stolen with the original money in it......

So now if a tag is really not worth any value to the car then why do we need to make it soooo perfect that it can't be spotted from an original, is it kind of like "reprinted" money. Again kind of like color copying a hundred dollar bill and everytime you copy it you somehow change the serial number......what do you think someone is doing if they did that just wanting to copy some money or pass it off as..............I just hope the tag producers NEVER find out how to make all of them perfect.

Carry on with letting them know what they need to do so you can't tell one from an original....that's why security companies always hire the ex-cons to help the security company do their job better" link to one of the discussions - https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1 - i understand both sides and will only offer that new or 'newer' members should be sensitive to the way they phrase questions concerning the documents that can positively identify or debuke our Mopars.

... i agree with all you have said with exception of New or newer members should be sensitve to the way they phrase questions concearning the documents ect... mabe .. you [moparts ] should be more sensitive to the fact that new members do not have a crystal ball to know this. If you truly desire to protect the information, let that be known in your NEW MEMBER SECTION . i asked a direct question without trying to hide anything and i get a smart a/s reply totaly off topic. mabe the KNOWLAGEABLE ones could simply reply with an equally honest answer. ie; we do not like to give out this information freely due to past issues which may have been used in an improper manner .there is no need to build animosity between those who seek knowlage and those who have it. AS usual, the good and honest people will suffer from the fallout of the few bad apples .
