Hello Group,
Peter, Wow is all I can say! I would like to know how the lettering for the front top "Buick" was produced. Do you have a die, or is there a particular method of producing such fine work. I'm thinking about making some 1/2 size license plates for a project, and doing the lettering/numbing has me stumped at this time.
Look forward to any comments or suggestions that can be provided.

Chris I did not used a die for the ''Buick'' lettering, if you look at an old post in this forum you will find how I did it and all the info you need
the post title is called (1909 Buick Grille built up).
If you can not find the post, let me know and I will explain to you
Peter
