Early on (late 90's) while doing Ertl American Muscle Cudas, Challengers and other models he would add a sticker stating they were made by BYC. Later on and when he started converting mostly Highway 61 models he added a Certificate of Authenticity. These were originally signed by him but later on by his wife. Towards the end his wife would sign his name instead of hers. There are also hundreds if not thousands of convertible conversions done by BYC with no authentication at all.
