I have one that's restored but I didn't do it so I don't know how bad it was to begin with. One word of caution, I read on another board where a fella either used the vinager or molases dip methed to remove rust from a plate that he was restoring and the process ate most of the licence plate away.

back it with a piece of copper, and it may weld up a little easier.
I restored one one time, but no pictures, sorry.

I tried to make on from 2. I had a bunch of singles and decided if I could change 2 digits on one I would have a matched pair. I wasn't nearly talented enough to pull it off.lol

Well, I thought I could do it with a 00 torch and some small wire. I'm sure that a mig and good heat sink and it would be very do-able.

I screwed around with my project for five or six hours yesterday, finally pushed the tig aside, and developed a new "technique" with the mig. Anyway, as long as the girls at the DMV don't scrutinize me with a microscope, maybe it will pass?...

Are old tags worth anything important I have the original off of my 39 when it was first bought.....its rusty ut i just thought it was junk I still have it though I thought it would be good to keep if I ever got rid of the car!

Sure they are worth something. Sometimes alot, most times around 20 bucks or less. I think it is cool that you have the tag off your 39, save that one back for sure.
