Maybe he could just cut two holes in the plate for the center mount exhaust and call it a day.

with the extensiveness of this build im pretty sure that a flip down license plate could be fabbed up with minimal effort.. im thinking a small actuator that you could just push a button and the plate would drop down from behind the rear valance if you saw a need for it..

Car looks great. Hopefully I see it around at some point. I'm right down the road in Caledonia / Grand Rapids.

You'll have to throw a post up when you get it out to Gratton. It'd give me the excuse I did to get mine out there for some fun.

Yeah man! Someday on some car I have always wanted to have the James Bond flip around license plate showing multiple license plate numbers.

Actually we were originally going to do a flip down plate. But once the diffuser plate was made.. it went out the window. So i decided that if im just rolling around.. i would throw it in the back window. But odds are I'll just keep it in the car, and if i get nicked... well... worst case is a ticket.

you are more than welcome to come up to the shop anytime.... Also whenever im in town... stop by Dowg Dowgs on Wilson just south of 28th st. It will be there every weekend. Thats were 75-200 cars meet up on Fri and Sat nights. Lots of cool cars, (mostly) cool people, and if you can stay up late... there is always a cruise to Joes Pizza on Division.

They do indeed. When pieces started showing up... i was thoroughly impressed. Just good down to earth car guys over there.

Here's a pretty cool thing we did with the exhaust tunnel.
This is some gold foil we are also using under the hood reflect the heat coming from the turbo's(a mix of Carbon fiber and gold foil). I think it looks sick in the exhaust tunnel. Obviously this photo won't do it justice... but you can get a pretty good idea. It reflects up to 78% of all radiant heat with continuous operation temps of 450 centigrade. Here's a link to the product. It runs about $25 a sq ft. http://www.crracing.com/racing_perfo...flective.shtml

As for the rest of the car... we are just finishing up with the wiring. Tomorrow the front end will get put back together.. the exhaust gets re mounted.. and we will start running the power stearing lines, and the heater hoses. Its getting real close now......

==========================================

Love the Car, needless to say.

How about making some Fiberglass, or Carbon Fiber, Front and Rear Fenders/Short Quarter Panels, for those of us that would like to help you pay for your car?
===========================================
A Question:

Why is the Gas Filler Cap on the Right side, instead of the Left Side?
===========================================

Keep up the good work, can't wait to get your replies.

Good Luck,

================================
The flip down License Plate units are available from many, "Hotrod", suppliers.

I've seen a bunch of them on '23-'34 Fords, as well as others.

Should be easy to find.
