License Plate Resto.
I have been wanting to restore my truck's original '72 license plates since I bought it. I looked into places that do just that, and was quoted $75-$100 each to do so After seeing what some other have done here, I decided to try one this past weekend. I used some stuff I already had in the garage...various diameter punches, a mallet, pliers, vice, 180 sandpaper. I even had a spray can of dark blue, and some Testors model paint for the yellow lettering. I think it came out pretty well for a few bucks and a couple nights of work. The other plate is not as bad as this one was, so I am sure it will come out fine. I also have the original dealer frames.
