MartiAutoWorks Tags

I'm going to order a 1966 HiPo engine tag along with rear end tag from this company. Has anyone had any difficulty with ordering these types of tags, and if you did get the tag back, was it correct to your satisfaction? Also, how long ago did you have it done.(edited to reflect 1966, and ask how long ago)

Well, I appreciate everyone's comments. I contacted Marti's shop and gave them an original picture of a San Jose Hipo engine tag dated May 23 of 1966. I also supplied them with the information I needed on my tag which would reflect my date, January 66. Other than the date, every thing should be the same. My request reflected that. What I got from them was totally wrong. The first picture is of an original 1966 San Jose Hipo. Notice the date and Level change number 9

The next picture is what I got. Wrong level change number and wrong engine number. It should have been 245-S and not 245-A and level change 9 and not 10.

As of this moment, Martiautoworks will attempt to fix it, and have indicated that what they made for me is incorrect.

The reason for posting this information and the pictures is to help educate mustang owners in that it's always best to supply additional information when asking for any type of tag. If you have access to pictures or someone who has a car built at the same plant, within the same time frame, it will just help substantiate the correctness of the tag.
