 I need to redo plate on 1967 2000 estate. At least attach the original one=

000s so the plate looks similar.

Then need to find new 2000 plate. The original commission plate has numbers=
 of different sizes. Sure it is because each worker was given one stamp of =
different sizes so there was no consistency in stamping details. Thought ma=
ybe it was a Friday car; was commissioned on a Tuesday. Maybe after lunch.=

Would be hard to find a laser engraver out here in country. Not sure I woul=
d like something that perfect after seeing all the other commission plates =
and body numbers.
