Reproduction fender tag for my 67 GTX created by A.G Backeast from IBM build card I got from Chrysler Historical Society. I have no idea where the original went. Probably on someone's clone.

$150 and just a few days turnaround.

Yes, my 67 GTX is the very rare "oak edition".

What does the oak edition signify ? Is it the oak area for the console?
 
You'd think with the amount of tags he's done and what he charges people for them, he'd stop making mistakes.
 
I'd send it back if I were you.

Also what am I missing on this "oak" edition?
 
GTX Vin numbers

They do not. The VIN is not stamped on the radiator support or behind the bumper. The Sales order, the model year and plant number are stamped on the support.

You should find something like 77 ABC12345.

The "A" could be a letter or number. The B and C should be numbers as well as the 12345. These ABC and 12345 numbers should be found on the bottom row of the fender tag. The other stamping MAY be found behind the rear bumper. Not all cars seem to have it.
 
I took the picture on my oak dining room table! That is why the background in the picture is oak instead of the car's fender support.
 
Shouldn't the tag be painted oak?

I will probably just cover it was some oak contact paper if it does not rust away first. Just like the real ones, started showing rust instantly. The one oak screw I can probably hand carve. LOL

Morgans used to have wood frames. I wonder if they had fender tags and if the frames were treated with chlordane at the factory to prevent termites?

Anyone that sees any errors, let me know what they are. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what should go on the fender tag. Backeast rejected some of what I gave them (H1 for power brakes) and recommended adding j4 (for sill moldings) and A1 (for 26" radiator) since the car had factory air.

First I ordered the build card from the Chrysler Historical Society, then I contacted them and got their error in decoding the build card corrected. Then I spent a lot of time looking at 67 GTX fender tags (that could be real or reproductions) many on the R&K Motors Restoration site of 67 GTX's they have restored, as well as cars on e-Bay. Then I gave my best guess to Backeast and took their recommendations for corrections. If their are errors, they could very well be mine.

If anyone sees errors, please let me know what they are. I won't be offended at all. I tried my best to get it right and will redo it if it is not. I guess there is a reason Galen Grovier has a three year backlog. LOL

Thanks!

There's enough fake and bad tags out there already. I have no interest in helping AG make better fake tags.

What was coded, when it was coded and even where it was coded on a tag varies by plant and time of the year.

I was hoping theses threads were helpful. Apparently not.

I agree! I like the one with the owner/seller saying it is the original
tag, I had it sandblasted? Best sandblasted old tag I'd ever seen!? lol

Oak Table top edition? lol
So what did I win? lol
 
My fender tag had some corrosion issues due to a leaking battery at some time in its life. Fortunately, everything was legible, but I had Backeast make me one for my car. He does nice work.
 
I talked with 69CoronetRT while going through the process of getting the obvious error from the Chrysler Society Resolved and even sent him a copy of my build card. He offered some generic build card reading advice, but nothing specific to help with the order of the fender tag. Neither did Backeast until I sent them all the information I thought should be on it. I did the best I could. The error could be mine or Backeast's if there is an error at all. I PM'd 69CoronetRT what Backeast added to what I sent as well as what they deleted from what I sent. Even Galen Grovier provides reproduction fender tags and I know for a fact he does not pound them out himself. He orders them from a fender tag reproduction company. I have the title and Chrysler Historical Society information on this car. I am not building a clone. I am not trying to fake anything. If I was, I would be smarter than to go on this site and post a "My Reproduction Fender Tag" thread. The fender tag was ordered to match the car as it was built (green) not the car as it is now. Not sure why the need for all the mystery. I thought "I know something you don't know" whet out in grade school and this site was to assist and educate others. Kind of like telling someone (and everyone at the car show) their Hemi is a clone but refusing to say why. Anyone who wishes to contribute to this thread with more specifics than just saying my reproduction tag is wrong please do so.

Thanks!

Don, I will reply as a matter of 'equal' time and it will be my only comment on the topic.

I recall the conversation on the telephone.
I recall telling you at least three times during the conversation why your IBM card was correct and not 'an obvious error'. This was a verbal follow up to my post in the thread about why there was not a mistake on the card itself but how the person at the CHS misinterpreted what was on the card. What I told you on the phone would have related to the fender tag.

I don't recall ever recieving a copy of your IBM card. If I had recieved a copy of the card, I would have saved it as I save those types of documents. I do not seem to have that one in my files.

AG Backeast makes tags. That does not mean he knows how to make them correctly. If you are willing to accept probable errors in his product, then, by all means, do businsess with him. Be willing to accept the ramifications.

There are enough fake and bad tags out there. I have no interest in correcting his work so he can get paid to make bad tags that are more correct.
