<font color="purple"> He has not only the largest collection of plaques, but also the molds for a lot too. He can copy any he has easy if no mold exists. Get out your credit card, you'll go CRAZY! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif </font>

he's not the ONLY guy Denise. drop Hotroddrummer a line at the Ionia Hot Rod Shop. they have a BUNCH for sale. email:IHRS1932@triton.net or phone: 616-527-6051. Matt or Denny will help you out.

Mike, I had NO CLUE that Matt and Denny sold/made club plaques. Learn something new every day. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

yeah, nobody knows, thats why i need to figure out how to update their website and help em make a catalog. it all costs money though and being a small struggling business they don't have the resources or the time. thats why i want to help and try to do some of that stuff for em or hook em up with people who can. they've got some GREAT stuff and the quality of their work is second to none. i mean that.

if i were filthy stinkin rich Denny would be my personal fabricator and Matt would be my little bitch. ok, so Matt is allready my little bitch http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif but you know what i mean.. LOL....

i don't want to buy a used one, i want to have my own made up. but thanks for the suggestion.

Me and a few friends were kicking around this idea as well... getting some plaques made as well. I probably don't even want to know, but anyone know how expensive it is to get a custom made plaque and everything for your club?

He has a minimum order....10 if I remember right. Small fee for the pattern and then so much per plaque. I had our club done by him almost 20 years ago. Great work.....We had 40 done. Belt buckles also.......

Hot Rods of Norco made our club plaques. They are in so cal.

Dennis is one cool guy and you won't believe how many patterns he has for old club plaques. Hatch called him a few years ago and ask about a plaque from the old Midland, Mi car club, the Torrid Torquers. He had the mold and we have bought a bunch form him. Good service and Good price.

Have to concur with Frank on this one.I've known Dennis for years and he is a stand up guy and a dyed in the wool hot rodder.See him every year at the Ty-Rods show.(shameless commercial plug) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

There MAY be other people that make Club plaques, but there are NONE that do a better job for a better price. Here's one that I designed for our club in 1985 and had Dennis do..

i'm familiar with Hot Rods of Norco. i got my flame-thrower kit there. how's the quality of the plaques? thanks.

If you are having the plaques made, how will they be vintage? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Just being a wise guy.

O'Brien Truckers makes the plaques for my club. They charge us $20 each with a minimum order of 10 plaques.

mike = smartass. just kidding. nice sarcasm, i like that. i'll have to give O'Brien a call it looks like. thanks everyone.

Before you go forging copies of "vintage" plaques you should do your homework to find out if the club is still active and whether you run the risk of an appropriate ass-whipping for doing the identity stealing.

The ones from Hotrods of Norco look great... They showed me some when I was there... And I've seen Seldom Seen's plaque too.... Looks good to me...
