So seriously. -WHEN- do you take possession of this car? I imagine after spending however much money and time on it, that you would want it to enjoy it soon, eh?

That would be really cool if it would flip in and out automatically, whenever you turned the car off/on.

It would suck if you forgot to flip the switch when going for a cruise and rip the licenses plate off if you hit a bump! Haha.

Now that the glass is in with a few more final tweaks she will be headed to NY hopefully. But no rush she will not seen any road time in NY until spring (winter in NY = snow, salt, rust)

Got it covered, I got the idea from the corvette boys with this flip plate, they mount two heavy gauge bolts on either side of the plate to take the hit if left in the down position. Plus Archie reinforced the nose of this car so he will have steel to mount it to.

Reminds me of those black boxes personal coinbank with the hand that comes out from a trap door and snatches a penny, retracts and the door shuts

Cool looking , I like how low the licence is when up to where it doesn's really impede the airflow. I wonder if it will cause problems if it is retratced and you are doing at least 150 mph
