Hidden lisence plate

[steevil]

*ahem...mods, edit as you see fit.

Has anyone ever devised a way of hidding your lisence plate for "carshows" or internet pics?

I have a mechanical method of doing just that.

1, Bought a GM style lisence plate holder from the boneyard. Certain models of GMs hide the filler tank under the plate.

2, bought a manual choke kit and discarded the outer sheath.

3, routed some hard brake lines from the trunk to the interior next to the trunk/gas door release

4, had a custom fake plate made.

Voila! no see um real plate.

As you can see, the flip plate is virtually undetectable when fully closed. Use your imagination as to what "other" uses it may have.

Next will be to wire in a solenoid to have it move electrically.

Nice to have these low springs huh

I also have disconitnued SS springs which dropped my 2.5"Front/1.75"Rear, i'm defitnaly using these for the next SHO I find.

I once saw a cool little device for street rods that had the plate mounted to the bottom of the bumper. It had a vaccume operated pivot so when the car was on the plate would fold down, but when you cut the car off the plate folded up behind the bumper. That was cool!

that plate looks great! a friend in school was going to do this, but his car crapped out on him before he could try it. also your car looks very good. i have a set of ss springs and front tokicos. after i save up more funds, i will buy some rear tokicos and bushings and drop my car this summer-hopefully in the next few months! boink

New to forum and first time SHO owner. Bought a 1994 MTX white 3.0 SHO. Found easiest way to hide license plate on a clean bone stock SHO go to back to the bricks car show in Flint MI.

Was told no way you cant enter that in the car show!!!

Guess I should have put a small block chevy in an S10 would have got in no problem.

I dunno, maybe I didn't pay off the interwebz people or something, but I cannot see the images...
