You will leave the DMV with this set of plates in hand.  However, only after your new title arrives (2-3 weeks in the mail) can you apply for the customized plates. You will need to pay an additional $63 for the customized plates which take 4-5 weeks in the mail. (It has been 4 weeks today and I'm still waiting for mine).

You can actually search by choosing special plate type (in this case vintage) and then go through your selections that you are looking for to see if they are available. The vintage plates are now limited to a total of 5 (no more, no less) alpha numeric characters.

Hopefully I'll be able to replace the fan belt and de-glaze the pulleys tonight as well as check out a few things Rob Green recommended. New tires should be here Friday, but I won't be able to get them mounted till next week.

It looks good (but not perfect), has a few mechanical items to take care of, but it will definately be a driver. Now I can restore my '70 B while I drive/maintain/learn about the Mini. Hope to motor with all of you at the Antelope Is. run!
