Guys to be fair If I offer an opinion or the Norwood Retirees offer an opinion we are subjected to the virtual colonoscopy by a few of the aligned members of another forum.

So the question remains: Why is it a repop?

Is it the font?
The size and the shape variation of the embossment?

Cut us all in here.. or perhaps given the relative statistically small percentage of body plates in the CRG data base as compared to 1969 production -there may be some uncertainty as to the strength of the reproduction argument?

And there is the potential that I already know the guy who ran the embossing machine for Fisher Body at Norwood.. .

I think offering an informed opinion is a vastly safer position to take when you were not there and do not have first hand knowledge that you are willing to share

Framing a discussion as an informed opinion becomes critical when you will not state the basis for a hard claim.

If that is what you REALLY wanted to know, why didn't you ask that question instead of the other four questions; especially considering you were already well aware of the answers and the reasons for the answers.

I think it is perfectly logical for Kurt and Mike NOT to disclose too much info on a public forum. You don't think that it is logical. We can disagree. I appreciate what they are doing for the hobby, just like I appreciate things you have done for the hobby. It doesn't need to be a pissing match.


As for this statement, I have no idea what you are driving at: "I think offering an informed opinion is a vastly safer position to take when you were not there and do not have first hand knowledge that you are willing to share."

One didn't have to be there in 1969 to spot a fake tag made in 2015 (or whatever year). Go do some reading on Team Camaro. Fifteen years ago, the fake tags were so bad, that anyone with better than 20 40 vision could spot it. Guys kept calling out the fakes and pointing out problems with them. What happened? They got better and better. "Being there" in 1969 has nothing to do with it.
