Sept 16, 2009 -- Day 5

Just did some work on an original 1936 Arizona license plate that Jack gave me for the car.  After some straightening, sandblasting, and painting, it's as good as new (almost!)  I left the pitting on there instead of filling it just to give it some character.

The plate before, with just a bit of sandblasting on one side to see the before/after.  It was also quite bent up as you can see in the picture.

The back of the plate with just a bit of sandblasting on the edge

I sandblasted it and pounded it out perfectly straight

And then it was time for paint (In the original paint scheme, of course!)

We are all very happy with the way it turned out and can't wait to get it on the car!
