I kept waiting out for good sets on ebay. I got one for each ride, I paid $55 for the 65 plates and I think I had to shell out $70 for the truck plates.

No, it's not "legal", however, I own the plate number and have for the past 30 years or so. The plate is registered to my truck and I am not attempting anything nefarious or attempting to commit fraud. I am hoping no one will catch on or care if they do catch on.

In California the plates need to issued by the state and be "serviceable".

Not a problem, I completely understand! Just wasn't sure if it was something you could actually do in cali. I'm currently trying to get a title for my 67 firebird. My dad bought it in 86/87 in NY with no title, he never registered it, now I have the car here in SC and decided not to work on it until I can get it titled. I ran a search on it, the VIN is clean, and the door post and firewall VINs match with factory rosette rivets and decoding the VIN matches what the car is... Looking at a few options, they all suck. I'm just about willing to do "whatever I need to" to get it titled.

i know it hard some times and in some states its a lot of trouble to get a title for a vehicle, i have a friend that told me a few months ago that he can get a title for me, we were talking about buying a vehicle that did not have one , and he told me to just let him know and he could get one for me if i ever bought an old vehicle and needed a title. i know he crushes a bunch of vehicles and has a lot of scrap iron sales. so i guess he can get a salvage or rebuilt title. but how he gets it is all legal ...or i would not even try it...so you might be able to contact some one in that business and get one that way....may be this would help you.

There is still the issue of poor quality on the fonts. I mean you paid good money for those plates and they ought to be dang nice for that price. I would pitch a fit and get a refund then look elsewhere for a good company to make you a new rear plate. I would then let Rene's wife paint the front one. I have seen her plates in person and I promise you they are top notch. Then take those plates you just got in the mail and make garage art out of them

Give it a shot at restoring your originals. I did mine years ago and they came out fantastic. I'll see if I can dig up the old thread. It is not difficult to do at all.

This is true. My rear plate has some swiss cheese but I did them anyways. I just sprayed a really thick coat of black paint, next time I'll use a semi gloss, and had my mom do the letters. While they are not show quality I only have $10 invested in paint and they look pretty good with a set of frames on a driver. Plus with the rear plate up against the black license plate holder no one has ever noticed the small rust holes.
