Marti auto also reproduces the laminated paper door jamb certification sticker. I ordered both for my '73 and they are excellent. He also sells the special rivets that attatch the metal vin plate to the door. They are easy to install with no special tools needed.

Jermafenser, sorry I'm not going to be home for another 10 weeks so I can't get pictures of the tags.
The quality is geat. They both look absolutley original, in fact the paper cert. sticker actually looked better than the original. On mine the typed part was always very light and washed out but on the reproduction the typing was dark and clear.
If I can get someone at home to get some pictures for me while I'm gone I'll post them for you.

That's fine. Just remember to bump the thread with pics. Vacation?
My label's letters were staggered. I wonder if Marti follows suit or perfectly vertical.

Wish it was vacation, I'm working. Ironically, I'm in Dearborn, MI doing some work at the Ford Rouge plant where they make F150's.
Weather is already headed towards the pits. I'm scheduled to be here untill Dec 19!

Jermafenser, here are the pictures of the metal VIN plate and paper certification label from Martiauto.com. I've also included a picture of the special rivets for the VIN plate. They're installed using a 3/16" punch or rod.
Hope this helps.
Mike

Mike - they have helped tremendously. Thanks!
Marti did an excellent job reproducing those.
Warranty plate looks perfect. The certification label looks very nice, but the font is slightly different. Not that the masses would know.

Glad I could help.
The font matches mine perfectly. Maybe Ford used slightly different fonts over the years.
I e-mailed pictures of my vin and cert. to Marti so there wouldn't be any problems with incorrect data.
They came out perfect.

They probably did. The certification label changed over the years. Ford also staggered the letters for some reason on some.
Oh -- it just hit me. Why did they send you four rivets? The plate only needs two...?
Tried to give ya a rep for the pics, but gotta spread it around first...
