I had posted this once before a few years ago
it's the Wax on Wax off version of
Valid plates on Valid plates off.
behind the Valid plate i use the Fuzzy side
of a Velcro adhesive so it will not scratch the
novelty plate.
roll up at car show, pop trunk Un-du 4 wing nuts
pull magnetic strips off the decal area's of the car
magic duster and your done.
also..had the novelty plates made in Phoenix a few
years ago. guy is not in business anymore?

Andy - That's a great idea! I have been trying to think of an easier way to make the switch for car shows and it sounds like you have figured it out.

I also did the simular mounting by using 1/4" bolt 4" long cutting it in three so each bolt is abound 1 1/4" long. Usuing a acorn nut, I wrenched in so it stuck out enough to put a regular nut and washer to hold registration plate on tight. I cover the extender bolt with the acorn nut and snugged it to the regular nut lightly tightened so it looked nice and clean. When I put the display plate on, I just take off the acorn nut, mount the plate on the bolt and snugg up the acorn nut. It looks good from a short distance. Just a added thought for quick mounting display plates.

That plate looks Great!
i like this Sub Mustang Hobby more and more all the time
people at car shows have No Idea what the hell this USPS
car thing is all about?????. or why you made a Mustang look like a
Police car????? in my case........Or Or Or It goes on and on.
We (you and me) ALL OF US have educate people at the local level
at public events Like the local car shows. The Postal service had Mustangs????
What!... get ready for the so called Mustang experts....they are gonna challenge you.
they challange me all the time at car shows. Again Looks Great
thanks again Mike....... for giving us a place to hang out!

I agree the plate turned out great.

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. I've run into those "experts" too. My approach is to educate and let them talk and talk...have a little fun with them...they tend to make themselves look bad on their own the more they talk.
