Just looking for a stack of old license plates. I’m gonna use em to make panels for my fire wall to try and block debris from collecting in the inner rocker etc. figured cheap and workable route!

If you’ve got a stack of 10+ It would be awesome. Name your price and shipping cost I can get it over asap!

Thanks

You should be able to get those pretty easily at a local swap meet. Near me(Phoenix), they usually about $2-3 each for newer plates and starting around $10 for vintage.

I would have thought you would use something like roofing flashing, maybe in 2 layers with panel adhesive/ construction adhesive.

That’s not the Midwest way!
Most of the reason I now have a big license plate collection is dad used to save license plates. Back then got new plates every year.
Most of them were used for rust repair.

great way to fix large rusty welds in vehicles.
(closed cell of course,...don't want sand/ water/ ice getting up in your fix).
