I had a guy tell me he could make me a trim plate to match my car one time at a show. We were looking at my car and he knew there was no black but he told me he could make it say what I wanted it to say, even reflect the leather interior. I passed on his offer.


This guy on craigslist is doing a great disservice to the hobby and making some poor sap down the line a sucker.

Hey Muddy,

If the guy's grammar and spelling is as awful as in the add his products won't hold up anywhere! I doubt he will be around for long. Thanks for the heads up!

Well he does give a money back guarantee if you don't like his work. I bet he prints up the money himself too.

Yea, Eddie... I can relate to your story, in regards to a 63 I was looking at last year. The seller came right forward and informed me... that the engine was not correct...but, in the same breath...could direct me to a guy that could fix thatummmm.

Hi MW,
Of course this is for 'Amusement Purposes Only', that's why it only $4200.00.
"HE does the LEG work". Does that mean he RUNS when some poor owner, down the road, finds out what they've just bought is a made up car?
Regards,
Alan

Yeeeaaahh, I wanna send him my e-mail address, phone number & the Vin number for my classic Corvette. No not really, I'm being sarcastic. Man I can't believe people actually do this. Might as well send your SS # as well.

Hello Alan...yea, certainly is sad...Needless to say, as these cars age, and increase in value...these idiots are going to be popping out of the woods more and more. I see in the future...a DVD, on how to decipher real documents from the, well...you know! Muddy
