Art & Inspiration Let's See The Rear License Placement On Your Hot Rod

Nothing fancy, the back of my 29:

 

Here is mine............

 

Oh come on. Recess it off center & tip it on a 45 degree angle.

 

On my friend's 32 3W we mounted the license plate to a late model GM pickup factory license bracket with 2 illuminating lights to the lower support bracket of the trailer hitch dead center under the factory Ford gas tank.
These license brackets can be found under virtually any GMC or Chevy pickup new and never used. Bumpers were all dealer installed on older pickups and they simply unplugged the lights on the factory bracket and plugged in the wires to the new lights in the bumper.
Ford and Dodge likely have an equivalent piece.

 

I like flamedabone's the best so far.... the neat frame and license plate go together very nicely, and the pinstriping is the icing on the cake! My choice so far!

 

Here's mine. 40 Olds wagon tailgate emblem used as a topper and a light. The clear lens is washed out by the desert sun; it should be colored on the back and it says: hydramatic drive. I'd rather it said Rocket. Maybe I can make one. The 37 handle is too noticable, so I'll find something plain and small.

 

here is the closeups you asked for, not quite finished. i'll make a new lens saying Rocket or? with backround red and letters illuminated by the tag light.

 

Nothing fancy or creative on my A Coupe.

 

My 3W....

HotRodToomer has a cool one on his '53 caddy, I think a similar one would look good on the back of your Vicky. Having the lights on the side goes with the horizontal plane of your rear end and makes it more unique

 

What type of tail lights are those?

 

'42 - '48 Buick

Here's mine. Da34guy and I flipped the stock bracket upside down (along with the light itself) and welded a tab to the bracket, then bolted it to the bottom of the body. You can barely make out the super bright LED's under the body. Not very traditional, I know, but they're HIGHLY visible when I'm on the brakes or the blinkers. Can't see them otherwise unless you're looking for them.

 

Your car really looks sharp well done.

 

Thanks Tony, lots of help from lots of good friends got it on the road. Your coupe is coming along real nice, when are you going to get to drive it?

Hate to throw out an idea for scorn, but the back of that car will be so nice and clean, how about a retractable plate instead?

 

Heh heh... just run it off of vacuum so it'll be traditional!

 

needed to leave room fro pinstrippin!

 

here`s mine in the original location.check out my new dual exhaust system!

 

Here's mine...I see plenty mounted lower than this but I personally think it looks alot better mounted above the lowest body line than hanging over it.

 

Here is mine.It's cut into the "Gl*** Bumper".
