Eric -

Get a new plate from one of those vendors and then contact Clarke Spares in
Doylestown PA to stamp the numbers on it.  He requires some proof that the
car is your's - like a xerox of your title or something like that.  I had
him do a couple of Commission Number plates for my '73 and '73 GT.
Beautiful work - quick service - very reasonable prices.

No connection, I get nothing out of this.  ' Just passing on my pleasant
experience.
