Jim two questions for you so we are all clear, you didnt really say in your post.

you stated -IF OTHER HAVE REMARKS THEY WILL POST, PLEASE BE WELL INFORMED ON WHAT YOU SAY BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN WRITING

this sounds like lawyer talk?, you coming after people who dont agree with you on this subject???

is there a reason you cant print these sheets with some type of text on back like
"for show only"???

Thnx for your response.

I never heard of anyone buying a car on the window sticker's say-so alone, but I guess it may have happened.

Rick, remember one thing.There are many buyers out there that think Ls6s had factory AC and aluminum heads . Do you think they know the correct font on a piece of paperwork?? Maybe the answer is to put "Honest Als Used Cars 5555 Main St Anywhere USA ' where the dealer name goes ???

I just thought taking the guess work out of the paper the document was printed on without going to a nuclear facility to get it carbon dated would make the issue of the fonts /ink being perfect not an issue-----"If the intent is for display to complete the visual of a restoration in the first place ".........Honest Al is good..

Seriously, if the intent is for display they should have small print stating "for displayonly" or "repro" on the page. Everyone has a right to sell whatever theyd like, but lets not think these papers are only being used for "display" purposes. People sell Elvis jumpsuits on ebay, if you think the King wore it, thats your problem not the sellers

I Can't remember the last time a fella went on e-bay wanting to pass some bogus 50 dollar bills ... ---..

NOT IF WE CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THE ENTIRE IDEA THAT THESE REPROS. ARE BEING MADE FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY..and maybe we are making a dent if the producers of such garbage are feeling the pressure to come on an open web message board and say something??

You want me to buy the idea that they are for display purposes, then step up and stamp them as such.. small, on the corner or back side.. until that is done.. I don't buy the smoke and mirrors.

FOR THOSE INTERESTED, THE '70 CHEVELLE BUILD SHEETS I OFFER ARE ADVERTISED AS A QUALITY REPRODUCTION PIECE. NOT ORIGINAL. THEY ARE MADE TO COMPLEMENT A RESTORATION, JUST AS ANY OTHER REPRODUCTION PART, RESTAMPED ENGINE OR REPAINTED CAR..... I DO HAVE FORMS THAT ARE FILLED OUT WITH PROOF OF OWNERSHIP AND OTHER INFORMATION, PRIOR TO MAKING ANY BUILD SHEET.

[/ QUOTE ]

Jim, I believe you're misusing the term "REPRODUCTION" for your buildsheets. If you were merely reproducing an original buildsheet, no one would be misled... but we all know a reproduced buildsheet would be unnecessary if someone had the original. What does "PROOF OF OWNERSHIP" have to do with this topic? If you had proof or documentation on a car (like a POP) and re-produced a buildsheet accordingly, nobody would be harmed... but many would still have a problem with that if it was represented as being an original buildsheet.

Would you have a problem if a terrorist claimed... "I'm innocent. I only made the bomb, someone else used it"

Jim,i was told you also do protecto plates as well. What drivetrain is put on the pop? Does that document have any kind of stamp for fake or repop? Just trying to get informed.
