very nice....I want to do the same thing on mine, but we are required to run a front plate here in the great white north!!   :canada:

You could still modify the bracket to accommodate the tag,  u think?
How many $$ to modify it.........?

I have a 1994 Pontiac T/A that I purchased new and the salesman said to return to have the bracket installed for the front tag.
I told him he won't be seeing me.

That looks good, but shouldn't have stopped there and weld up the bolt holes.

Attended a Rod and Custom show today june 23rd.

Check out this 71 Cuda bumper.  Besides filling in the tag bracket he notched the bumper to accommodate the fog lamps.
Howard said he will be at Carlisle.

I still prefer the rubber bumper on 'Cudas.

Challengers...yes, I plan on filling in the bolt holes.  Mmm...license plate bracket opening; not a big deal.

Thanks guys,

 I need to figure something with the plate now.  Already got bagged twice for no front plate.

$130.00 times 2 =  :swear:  :stomp:

Think I'm gona put the stock bumper back with the plate till I figure out what to do with the plate.....

Have to construct some type of bracket .......maybe a flip plate.... :clueless:

These plates are good but only hold one way, the rest is gravity.  Plus I don't want it to look cheesy....

Basically.. I need something to show the plate temporally for the cops, to avoid tickets,,,  than to be able to retract it for the shows.....
