Any suggestions or club members who stamp the vin# on the reproduction I.D. tags? I couldn't help myself from removing the old one before I paint the body and jams on my 54. It would have looked bad to try and tape off the tag and it was not perfect to begin with.

    I take my new plates to local engraving shop along with original so they can match font.

    I took mine to a machine shop, which had a variety of sizes. Got a decent match to the original.

    I have an original from a 1-C jet. That's a 1053. E-mail if interested. Walt.

    What do you use to reattach it?

    Originally, there was screw-type nails that held it in place, i.e., twisted nails that "screwed" in as you hammered them home.

    The last time I replaced one, I bought a set of rivets from a Model A Ford supplier. They were as Russell says, "drive rivets". Ford attached a data plate to the firewall with them.
