Turk,
I seen a couple original comp cars with the numbers hand engraved. we use a special metal stamp for our cars that puts the numbers close together and in a line. you load all the numbers in the holder, then give it a wack, and then presto! If you are careful and take your time, you can just use regular metal stamps for someplace like Harbor Freight. The hardest part is keeping the numbers straight and close together.
Thats pretty sweet about the registration. Now you are legally dangerous!!
Congratulations!
Kris
