    Dennis O'Brien at O'Brien Truckers he is a HAMBer { 59 buickwagon } and he is also a Aliance Vender. http://www.obrientruckers.com/ he did ours Club Plaques and he did a lot of HAMBer Car Club Plaques and he is the best.

    Try Hot Rods of Norco. in So. Cal. they beat O'Briens price by a lot for my old club, and they are not the cheap sand cast crap. These are CNC milled. Good Luck.

    O'Brien Truckers is the way to go! A few months ago all the Poor boys chapters got together and placed and order for close to a hundred plaques and we got them for the quoted price, and a week or so ahead of schedule. I also had a chance to meet Dennis when I still lived up north and hes a really nice guy.

    Hot Rod of So.Cal maybe less expensive than O'Brien, but at lest Dennis does them the Old S'cool Triditional Hot Rod "cheap sand cast" way and not the Import, Tuner CNC way......... and most inportent O'Brien is a HAMBer {59 buickwagon} just ask around, he is a good man met him last year. http://www.obrientruckers.com/

    I haven't gotten anything done by them, but I have seen quite a few threads about club plaques and tons of different clubs supporting O'Brien truckers. I'll be sending my money and design that way when I finalize my design.

    I googled them just to check it out to see the difference if there was any, and didn't see any reference to making plaques or pricing for making plaques on their web site. Unless I completely missed the link on their site. :confused:

    My dad belonged to a club that has been using O'Brien Truckers for quality plaques for over 20 years. Extremely high quality.

    I've had plaques reproduced by O'Brien Truckers and My club just had new plaques made by them and I've been to his shop.There is not one thing that Dennis doesen't do top notch period!he's got something like 60,000 different original patterns from like the beginning of club plaques.Always delivers ON TIME in fact usually EARLY.You can talk shit all you want but O'Briens is THE source for club plaques and lots of other stuff.You stepped in a whole bucket of shit trying to trash talk O'briens on this forum

    Nobody does a better job than Dennis Obrien. When you deal with him you are a person....not just a number.

    Cheap sand cast crap??? Um, uh, maybe somebody should tell that to Edelbrock, Wiend, Offenhauser, Brodix, etc. since they all make "cheap sand cast crap". That's the reason they're more expensive, instead of just loading a design into a machine to whittle it out of a block, they actually create a mold and pour each one.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! :rolleyes:



    You guys totaly misinterpreted what I said.

    Dont't be so lame.

    I was talking about the pits you sometimes get from sand cast. I never said that O'Briens was crap, just a lot more expensive for setup. Besides I don't care if he is a Hamber or how nice he is, I've never met him personally but after talking to him over the phone I think he seems to be a nice guy but I didnt like his prce. Also, I wanted to give the guy who originally asked about plaques more options than just the obvious.

    FYI
    If you ever checked out Hot Rods of NorCo's plaques you would totally understand. They look like OG sand cast but none of the blemishes you SOMETIMES get from a crapy sand cast.

    Enough with this drama, I will be in my garage if you need me.

    If you cant find HotRods plaque making on the internet, try calling them.:)
