License Plate

But in the mean time...

The license plate and frame is another 100% scratchbuilt part.
(This is actually the second plate, the first wasn't good enough after spending way too much time on it. Don't you hate when that happens?)
Yes, the letters are raised and the tags are correct, at least they will be by the time I get it done, and it's reflectorized.
Fortunately my truck gets registered in January, so I was able to register it early to find out what color the 2007 tags would be.
July, 07= 7/7, get it?... - Mark

Sure thing Petter... I hand cut the individual letters from adhesive tape, (twice! One layer turned out not to be enough) and after "sticking" them on the plate I used layers of paint to create the fillets around each letter and give the look of stamped characters... - Mark

What I was able to accomplish over the Thanksgiving weekend...
I made the taillights, (out of aluminum and acrylic), and the welting for the rear fenders, (out of brass, soldered together). Shown is the set for the left side.
Since the photo was taken I have primed the welting and fender and also made the reflectors and bulbs for the taillights...
