update on the custom console data plates
heres a e mail i got from the people that are going to make the custom console data plates (so we can have 383 instead of 350 c i and 532 torque instead of 7!!! and 431 h p instead of 12!!!) its been a slow process but it is still in process! like i said last time i will keep everyone informed as they become available they will be for sale,,,o yes by the way these are g.m approved!! licensed or whatever you call it there o k'ed by the general,,,,carl----------------------e mail--------------Hi Carl,
I'm sorry I missed your call yesterday. Things are progressing slow on the new plates....we are still trying to get our supplier to finish up the prototypes so we can send them off to GM. It is a pretty small operation doing these custom plates and the guy who runs it has a regular day job. Needless to say some things move slow and his wife is about to have a baby. So his time has been a little hectic the last couple of months. I'll check back in with him and see how he is doing with some samples for me and let you know.
Sincerely,

My son just tonight got into the car and said this plate is wrong. I said I will have to remove or replace it with something. Problem is every time I change something I'll have to get a new plate.

Hey guys, there is an easier way to do this. Volvette sells blank data plates, which I then took to my local trophy/screen printing place, and had mine custom screened. What do you think:

good idea. and takes a hell of a lot less time than we have been talking about this..did you peel the origional off before sticking the new one on??or just go right over the origional with the new one??? also i seen the one for my 73 part #em-52 but its not blank do you have to specify blank?another thing is i think ill split the cubic inch box in half so i can put ----383 c.i/431 h.p--in that box
