Does anyone have a picture of the ruetters badge (chassis number badge) that shows its location on the car. I'm talking about the serial number/chassis number badge, not the one on the outside passenger front fender?

Steven, this isn't a ruetters badge, but I think the location is the same.
I mounted mine near the inner left door latch. The door doesn't close now, but that's ok, I plan on showing it all the time. As soon as I can rivet it in I should be able to close the door. Right now I am holding it in with a 1/4 hex bolt and some JB Weld.
Rivets good, bolts bad. I thought this was the place to put it. Thanks guys.
Steven,
On the original cars there were aluminum plates mounted to the inner bulkheads/door jams called hinge cover plates, I believe. These had the Reutter Karosserie/vin on them and were attached (with TINY flat top rivets) to the plate just ABOVE the top screw hole. There was also a smaller Nitrolack plate attached just BELOW the top screw hole.
As I mentioned one before, the VIN on this Reutter's plate was also stamped and actually hand written all over the cars. Behind panels, scribed into aluminum trim, in crayon on the dash board. . . just everywhere.
Kinda cool, VERY hand made, sorta neat . . .
