I found a box to fit the plate, then I folded 1/2" of the plated down over the edge of the box at each end. I designed the neck so that I did not have to cut the plate to close the box and then slide the neck the rest of the way in with the fret board a little over the top of the plate.

Thanks, Scott. I think it's pretty neat to combine a cigar box and license plate build.

Looks great. Did you find a box that fits the plate or did you have to cut the plate down a bit?
