    I've been looking for Bartons Chevrolet Yorba Linda license plate frames for a while and it's been a slow go. Found a couple on Ebay which I bought but condition is a little iffy. They were in business for some time..but must have been a small dealer so not too many out there. If anybody has one or more they'd let go of let me know. My OT El Camino SS 454 would be thankful. Here's one of the ones I have.

    Was asked if I drove the truck here. I said, "Yes, but the bridge was out, so I took the tunnel." 463225579_8842517159145662_5731175604463320051_n.jpg

    done a few.the hard part was finding the right size letters .bought a bag of old coke restaurant sign letters that were the right size .sanded them then epoxied them on .had to grind off the other towns letters then level with filler and prime .the timbo's rod shop was a frame that had stickers on it to make your own or maybe plastic inserts do not remember[​IMG]
