Crusty Old Sarge
Our own PaPa Joe and His Grandson Eli have designed License Plate Toppers just for the Southern Bolters, please take a look....

"My Grandson Eli made these with his 3D printer (especially for the Southern Bolters). They are made of PETG Filament, which means they should last a good long time. They are fairly beefy also (1/4 to 3/8 thick including the mounting ear. The material duplicates a polished aluminum finish. However you can paint them any color you wish. I recommend finishing with a good Clear Coat after painting.

Toppers are $25 each. Toolbox Emblems are $20 each. The emblems can be attached with either double face tape or flat rubber coated magnetic strips. You can purchase the strips at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. $2 from the sale of each piece will be donated to the Southern Bolters to help with our social gathering expenses. Shipping is free, at this time. We accept PayPal and personal checks. Send PayPal payments to joekirk315@netzero.net Checks made payable to Joseph Kirkpatrick. (PM me for mailing address)

This is not a profit making venture. Eli gets the profits minus the shipping and donations. Which will cover his cost for the material and new parts needed to be able to print with the PETG. You can PM me to order.

We are in for one each!

Look great. Neat that we can do our own colors. What kind of paint recommend.

Also, making a plug here for Walmart for the magnetic tape with sticky back.

This is a great thing to do. And John Milliman has "approved" all this! thumbs_up

Thank Eli for making this possible.

Well, for now he helps me with the ‘53. It will be his someday. I tried to keep it as close to stock as possible. He will probably turn it into a hot rod. grin thumbs_up
