Looks mo betta George

Excellent - people are standing by with cash to buy

The program for the digits are done and I'm super happy!!!!!! time to burn one on a repop sticker with the date included. My source is wondering how many orders may come in for these so I will open a poll to give him soem #'s

This is just a photocopy of the sticker on paper so the hole size wonders a bit but will not on the stickers, what do you guys think??

Looks great,
put me on the list to buy. Are you going to contact people that are asked to be on a list or do we need to keep following the post untill they are actually ready?
Thanks,
Chris

were waiting on the acurate tamper style decal and then I will open a group buy for ordering

Looks really good! The font patterns and spacing look just like the factory sticker

Excellent job! Put me down for two!

Looks great Andy! I'm still in.

Looks great!

I'm in.

Set up the POLE.



...Then get some dancers...

Excellent , Im down!

I'm in for two, two for my 914 and If you ever start to do beetles I would want two for my son's super beetle.

Andy,

This is getting very exiting; your prototype looks perfect. I'm still in for 2.

Gary

I'd certainly be in for one, perhaps two if the later black style sticker looks as good as the silver one

Great information! Thanks for sharing.

My 1971 six still retains its original compliance sticker. Unfortunatly my 1973 911 compliance sticker is long gone. I purchased a very nice replica from an individual on the early 911S registry but one needs to punch there own chassis number onto this one.Would you be making yours available for 911's also with the pre punched numerals?

Thanks
Mark

Definitely interested. The door sticker on my '74 1.8 was also removed during soda-blasting, but I have a couple pictures of the original, and it's silver. The replacement I ordered for '74 from AA is black, but the wording and layout is correct. Anybody have a clue what the difference might be?

Imagine this, but silver:

Your sticker was scraped off. Soda won't remove a sticker, it is used primarily because it won't remove anything but paint.

I am still in for 2 stickers for my car. Just let me know when you want the $ and where to send it.

Here is my original VIN compliance door jamb sticker:



Here is the corresponding sticker for a 1974 1.8L from AA's web store:



Of course I want mine to match the original as perfectly as possible.

I was able to punch the VIN on a reproduction sticker with good results. used a hypodermic needle of the right diameter, and ground it flat, then beveled the edges to make a cutter, then I drilled a guide block that had all the dot matrix holes, and did one dot at a time to make the correct numbers. almost went crazy punching the numbers. One false punch and you have to start over, not so bad on the first number, by by the last digit, I was sweating it.

the end result was just like factory numbers.

Ps I got another 914 car needing a sticker, and dont want to do it again, I'd pay up $40 or so for that service for my other 914. i dont want to do this again.

I am in for 2

Unless I missed it ........ is there a list like this for the 914/4? .............. also how does one know what color sticker to go with (black or silver)?

Maybe the good doctor could weigh in on whether AA will carry the silver VIN compliance sticker as pictured below:

I'd still like one. Any further word?

McB

I'm done for one!

DO IT! DO IT!

I'm in

Plenty of interest in these - I definately need at least one, and most likely would get a spare -

Similar to how I do it. Major Pain in the Ass & easy to Fuch up a Number with a punch in the wrong hole

What ever happened on this?
On the Bird there's a thread on a company that does this service.

Looks like Decal Restore is providing this service. $125 a pop is what his website lists for a price.

Not that I need one (cuz I make my own), but I would need to see one of theirs before I shelled out $125.

The one example they showed on their Website, the Punches were incorrect

Due to the effort that has been expended here, I will stick with the stickers that will be offered here at such time as they are available.

Not very impressed by their website...

I'm finishing the form after some edits to satisfy guy that will be doing the cutting of the decals. I hope to have an approved version this weekend. I will only handle the orders and return shipping.

Some of the required details are,

self posted envelope with the decal/decals you want cut
copy of registration
short form to fill and sign stating decal is for compliance and not a VIN proof.

No tamper proof circles either. I'll wait for Andy's and I would pay more if need be when it's done right.

good link .......

OK,

Just got off the phone with him and hashed it out. below is what the form will have on it. These will not have tamper proof circles. The required info provides him with the comfort that whats being created is correct and honest. I will buy spare decals for any errors and to avoid taxes by re-selling the decals the decision not to supply the decals was made.

Can you post a picture of the final product?

First thoughts of a $75 sticker seems like a lot of money but showing off a quality product would help.

As requested...

The 7 on the Date (Year) is incorrect. Every Original Compliance Sticker I have seen has the same glitch in that there is a Punch that doesn't line up

Example

And this is one I made with the same Glitch ( it's an extra with a couple of other errors)

Click to view attachment

Yes we saw that also and we have a separate template for that and will be a choice for the buyer

I think that '7' glitch is a 914-6 thing maybe? Maybe a Porsche thing vs. a VW one? Both my 4 cylinder cars are like this one:

No "7 error" here in Aug. 72 - also note that this is the black decal color without the semi-circle cuts, and it's original since it shows the L80E under the oversprayed sahara beige & gold repaints done by the dealer &/or OO from whom I bought the car in 12/75.

So Andy - now I'm confused - are we buying the blank decals from you, supplying the necessary from/info-docs & you send it off to be punched ??

.... or are we finding blank decals at AA or somewhere else to send to you?


Maybe a post on how & where the raw material decal is coming from at the $75 price would be helpful - along the lines of your good explanation of the form & supporting documentation in your post above.

(with Tom!) Not really sure whats going on any more.

post 142 says the buyer supplys the sticker and andy replaces any they screw up.
