Bob's Component Resto, Part 25: The Paperwork

You are spot on Bob. To me "fake" has an element of dishonesty. If a dude has a reproduction tag made that does not mis-represent the vehicle in question and is backed up by things such as a build sheet, body stamping, original paint, and a dash vin...Well to me that's not fake. These things went missing in the past 50 years, and no-one cared back then.
Thanks. I couldn't agree with you more. People have been making honest and legitimate replacement fender tags for years, and they provide an important service to our hobby. I'm thankful for them. And yes, you can always find a dishonest vendor out there if you look hard enough. But that doesn't mean I'm going to throw everyone else under the bus. Shop carefully, do your homework, check them out and then buy with confidence when they're legit. And one more thing: Don't let some self appointed "expert" on this forum tell you what to do or how to think. I'm not an expert on anything, just a guy who wants to share whatever I've learned with my Mopar buddies via the twenty nine component resto installments I've posted on FABO. And thanks for the backup. I appreciate it!
