Paint inspection mark not legible

[Rukiddin]

My original fender markings are in yellow ink/paint but no matter how I look at them I still can't be sure of how to reproduce accurately. Both are along top edge of fenders. I know some of you have seen hundreds of examples and may have a clear picture of originals. Jan built 68 350. Thanks!

Is the question what they say or how to reproduced them?

[Rukiddin]

Hoping there would be an example I could take to local print shop for them to make a copy. I had considered using my name,but that was shot down by everyone  Any help appreciated....type of ink/paint,other locations I may have missed,etc

I would not use your name.

Looks like Kerrwin and Martz to me

There should be one on the cowl as well

Just use paint not ink

Any competent copy shop can make the stamp

One thing you will often find in having a shop reproduce these sorts of things is the difference (large or small) between the older fonts (no longer used) and modern fonts. Because of this ask for a sample of what it will look like before you have them made so you can compare how close they may be to the original. Remember what you see is likely different than what the stamp looks like.

What we see is after compression of the rubber stamp, build up of the ink or paint on the stamp face and often a slide or smear of the stamp as it was applied.

Just some things to consider

Mine say "Paint OK - Adam".

I can't tell you how many people got Pee O'd when they saw them on my car?  Quite a few. That's before most were talking about them.

Mine is a '68 Hertz car which in some small ways are a little different then the other '68s. When it was completely original, other "experts" would come up to me telling me that it was all wrong and not a real Shelby.

The last guy who was told car wasn't real was banished for eternity.

Best not tell anyone else that story

Oh, it's real alright. The experts in many cases, just aren't experts. They are the ones who should be banished. To some, a little knowledge makes them dangerous to others unfortunately.


I'm not running away and hiding in the closet with a bag over my head like some might and are right now. I have the ability to see the difference between right and wrong, truth and fiction.

Apparently the person of whom you refer to doesn't?

There is a difference .That last guy wasn't told his car wasn't real just the evidenced laid in his lap to show that the jig is up. That guy knew his car was a fake yet he portrayed it as real and even fake shamed others at times in hypocritical fashion. No one banished him he banished himself because he was outed.

True. I think he is welcome back. He just needs to set the record straight.

Banished forever just sounded better

You may be correct, but it is self-banishment and he deserves it.

He's the only person that told me he would never join SAAC because of the element.

I want to hear his explanation to the TDMV about the VIN plate?

[Coralsnake]

Just a matter of time. Hopefully he can stay clear of Plano. Guess who knows a Plano officer?

Speaking of "paint ok " stamps............remember?   
I just want to see a clear picture of " KERRWIN stamp to verify spelling...then you can continue the lynching

Mine say "Paint OK - Adam".

Mine said paint ok Adam as I uncovered them back in the 80's.  I had Bob Perkins to stamp me his Adam stamp on to a piece of paper back then and he sent me the paper. I took it to a very well known printing outfit here locally and had one made.  Turned out really well.

Rukiddin, check with BP and see if he can help you with a kerrwin stamp
