Couple of problems, The first plate's proportions are wacky, and the newest plate desiign on file was 12 years old. Current Florida plates have 2 oranges.:(
Can't fit more than 7 letters on a plate.:(

Yeah real 1:1 scale and really out of date.
Can you tell the WAYBACK MACHINE that this is the 21st century and we need current plates.:p

Virginia's plates are pretty up to date though.

You just to build older retro vehicles, :LOL:
On his site it says e-mail him with suggestions and such so if you had a plate in mind and found the artwork, send it to him and he still alive he'd probably update it for ya.

The state of Florida has over 130 available specialty plates. The ACME thingy lists 3, and they no longer exist. They stopped issuing the standard Florida plate they list in 2003.

oregon is WAY out of date, though last I checked I can put in hypothetical characters into the state website and it will show me what it would look like if it was available.

Willythickfoot, nice to see a Manitoba member. Nice to see you, and.... this link works great for printing out a decent image for a "fake" Manitoba plate. I had this link months ago, and it's how i made the plates for my Toyota High-lift Hilux.
