Re: #the 77_remix

Yesterday I was on call and had some running to do. I worked on more small projects trying to accomplish what I could in the time available. The license plate bucket needed attention, so I focused on that.

I blew it apart and noted how badly the lens on the light had faded. Summit was sourced for a Goodmark brand replacement housing. In the interim, I spent some time cleaning the edges of the housing up and prepping for paint.

Another issue was addressed that I had been meaning to get to for a while.The bottom bolts of the license plate rattled badly when the truck was at idle. I had placed some rubber bumpers at the contact point but it didn't resolve the rattle. I bought a pair of the plastic bolt holders and installed them in the bottom. To do it right I had to drill a hole then make it square with a small file. Its tedious work, but it matches the top now.
