Errr, ah - I know this guy in another town... he's _very good_ at doing
this. Just don't ever buy a car from him.

:-)

Seriously, a well equipped machine shop should have a set of number dies
at the very least and really really well equipped ones will have letters
too.

I have a set of numbers out in the garage somewhere, but no letters.

:-(

I need to make a comm. plate for the race car. Long story short - an
aquaintance got stopped for a tail light violation on his trailer (this is
for a race car). The local gendarme decided to be thorough and asked for
documentation on the race car. Being a salvage car, there were no numbers.
The car was impounded on the spot. The worst part - the guy had been
racing the car for years and nobody ever gave the numbers much thought.

Doh!

I never heard the outcome, but the thought of someone impounding my race
car classifies as a nightmare in my book!

Bottom line - DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.
