There is a company called Restostamps that has any stamp you can need. They specialize in antique cars. For example, they have the Model A set with the unique 1, 6 and 9. Also sets for V-8 Fords.

Did you ever locate a source for the star stamps?

The reason someone might need a star stamp is to put a serial number on a reproduction patent data plate, which I paid someone to do. The new plate sure looks better in the restored engine compartment than the old one would. When I got my truck about 21 years ago, the serial number on the registration was wrong. I didn't realize this until years later. I think that someone 59 years ago tried to copy the number stamped on the cowl but got it wrong. That was kind of dumb, because the "Engine Number" was stamped on two plates affixed to the body (maybe "Engine Number" confused them). When I restored the truck, I had to have a policeman verify the correct number before I could register the truck. In Georgia, titles are not required for vehicles made before some date in the '60s, and they will not issue a tile for any vehicle older than that date. Richard

Moxie, this picture, if it posts, will show what carlock is referring to. It is of a tranny from a '39 PU truck. "Never say never" when it comes to a Ford. http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx20/gjunertl/DSCF0066.jpg

The answer to Moxie's question is..... you have to get burnt a time or two before you wake up to the fact that not all people are honest. Also, in the case of old vehicles, they are just that, having very little value sitting out in the south forty, until someone said they were....ANTIQUES!!

The dash mark has no arrow heads. What amazes me is the number of people selling cars who have ho idea where the vin number is on the car. They have a title but do not know how to connect it to the car they are selling. And there are floks who will buy the car without even checking to see if the title is correct.

While you are at it how about making the stamp for the dash mark that has the little arrow heads on it that goes between the "18" and the rest of the number. You will need that also to get the correct look to your #.

I know two guys that lost cars they had a lot of money in because a former owner proved the cars had been stolen. If a person pays attention to current news, you should recall the resent articles about vehicles that had been stolen over thirty-five years ago, and were recently recovered. A "Vette" stolen in NYC, in the 1960's, recovered as it was being loaded into a container for export. A '56 T-Bird, stolen in Hayward, CA in the '60's, recovered when the car was purchased in the mid-west and returned to CA three years ago. A VW window van that was stolen thirty plus years ago, that was recently recovered. I changed how I handle undocumented vehicles when I almost got burnt on a '79 Bronco I restored several years ago... I made the mistake of not clearing the ownership until I had the vehicle all restored.
