I made the signboards myself. I get a lot of nice comments about them. I should seriously consider making them for other people. I know how expensive they are to buy. At first I used Velcro tape, but that left one half of the Velcro stuck to the hood when I took the signboard off. My wife said why not just use magnets (Duh!). So I used clear packaging tape to hold the magnets on. The packing tape also protects the painted surface of the hood. Then to store it (in the '70), I just stick it up over my head in the cab because I don't have a headliner in that truck.
