Travis Had This Old Pontiac

Somewhere along the way, he lost the bracket that mounted to the bumper for mounting a front license plate. A front license plate is required in Texas. There is no requirement for a bracket. I drilled two holes in the bumper and mounted the plate with a pair of sheet metal screws.

    Resale? When he was finished with that car, it was $100 worth of scrap metal.

    Maybe the sheet metal screws will add additional elemental value.[:D]

    There is no bracket on the front of the warden's exploder either. I re-drilled the license plate to match the hole spacing for the holes in the front bumper where the bracket is supposed to mount. I mounted the plate with 1/4" stainless bolts and acorn nuts.[;)]

    You didn't find it difficult to get the nuts off the acorns...

    I'd think that the worst part would be the poor little squirrels that keep breakin' their teeth tryin' to chew on 'em!
