I had a 1967 Arizona plate on my '67 stepper so of course I wanted to pick up a 1954 plate for 'Ella.

A couple of calls to some friends and even a peek on eBay left me shocked. Most "install" ready plates ranged from $175-$250 depending on the condition of the plate, ouch! My plate for my '67 stepper was only 20 bucks!

So I thought, "Wait a minute, I can do paint and body work, why can't I restore a plate?" So I changed directions and started looking for a plate needing attention... My search led me to a plate on eBay. Before I bid, I checked with the Arizona department for plates and found that the number was clean and that I could register it.

I won the auction at the grand total of ten bucks and that included shipping. I included a couple of photos so far and I should be done with the final painting tomorrow and I will post more pics then. Hope you enjoy.
