How fun would it be to see one at a car show and be able to walk up to the owner and say hi. It would also be a good way to get your name out there. I would love to put a "FORT KNOX" plate on my truck for shows, it won't win but I will sport that plate the whole weekend long. And if you are lucky enough to live where front plates are not required you could have it on the truck all the time. Anyway, I would buy 2 and I suspect that if you could get anything you wanted written on them people would buy a lot of them. Now lets hear some replies! They will do it if nough of us reply, come on guys I really want a pair of these things!!!!!

I'm sure if ya'll can find someone to actually make the plates, something could be arranged - know anybody in jail?

My father is an investigator for the Nevada State Prison system (maximum), maybe I can get some inmates to work up some plates for us! I had some body work done by the inmates (read: murderes) there one time. Its amazing that they pay them an hourly wage too.

I did this design just to show you how you could cut and paste letters and graphics and did it in about 5 minutes (granted I am a nerd): [img]http://home.comcast.net/~iarnstein/plate2.jpg[/img] They have a nice set of tools that work with your web browser to add text and pictures. Use ADD GRAPHIC for a picture then click on the picture and push it about where you like it. Use ADD TEXT for lettering. I mooched the stovebolt engine from our web site. Now for the bad news, at least in Texas, you are required to have a front liscense plate, but its not universally enforced. And you are not allowed liscense plate frames, although its also not universally enforced. However, nothing is keeping you from using one at a car show, or just displaying it elsewhere on your vehicle. And the weird thing is, on my jeep, an antique vehicle, in Texas you are only issued one plate. However, you are not supposed to drive those vehicles except on way/to from show/meet and in parades. | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 Shop Shark | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 | arnswine, cool page...but i want an official stovebolt.com one. just seems like a good money maker that they are missing out on. come on...please make them!!!!

Patton My Machine | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 688 Shop Shark | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 688 | I woud buy one (or two) as well, but we need to use our screen names so that next time I have a weekend mini-vacation to Windsor Onterio by way of Washington (the state), I will be able to not only wave to my fellow StoveBolters,but know there names. This is better than Lions Club.
This is something we should all buy at the HOO-YA SHOP along with our Stovebolt Decoder Ring.

I WANT MY LICENSE PLATES!!!!
