Default Re: Another Trim Tag for the Books, X33

Now what happens if say during a 5-10 year restoration on a legit L-78, Z/28 or whatever you lose the trim tag that was removed because you wanted the firewall to be perfect on your high dollar car? Or you had to remove it to replace a piece of rotted firewall. Whatever.

Maybe it got misplaced or maybe the wife or whoever thought the tag was just another piece of metal with no reason and threw it away. Hey, it happens.

What are you suppose to do? Nothing? Leave the firewall bare? Try to explain to every Tom, Dick or Harry that wants to pick your car apart at the local car show that your brand spanky new restored Camaro is a true Z/28 but you can't prove that because the tag is missing.

Or do you have a new tag made for the car and let some other so called experts disclaim your car because you had a tag made to replace the original that was lost?

As stated Norwood cars without paperwork would be torn apart with a new tag installed. Legit cars with replacement tags could be hurt just by the fact that certain individuals have a beef with replacement tags.

I myself do not have a problem with that as long as the car is truely what is represented by the replacement tag. Nothing more.
