I like the way that one tilts backwards!

Actually I believe the tilt gives some additional strength.

Thanks for doing that! I have a buddy who welds aluminum so I will print this off and take it to him. How close does your wheel come to it? I noticed on another one that it steps forward about 3 inches.
Sorry to your kat for disturbing its hybernation.

Is that prowler carpeting in front of your car?
JustAKid
11-28-2010, 02:41 PM
it is a mat that Sno had ordered once we had enough people to get them , , the plate misses the tire with no problem , that is why it is tucked close to the nose cone , I also held it up under the kat to make sure it cleared ok , drilled out 2 rivits under the nose cone and then just used bolts to mount it in , if you have someone that can weld should be no issues

Thanks guys for the nice comments on my license plate holder. The holder is very solid & attaches to the underside of the car, using the existing holes under the nose. Very easy install. Take 2 bolts out & attach the holder. The holder comes in black powdercoat with cover for your plate. The price is $100.00 + shipping. Beachkat, if you want one, let me know.......thanks, Mac (galaxie).
