Comment by Dave Lynas on November 15, 2019 at 3:58am: Throw the plate in a swamp for a few years.

Comment by AGP # on November 14, 2019 at 5:55pm: "Many Thanks" BQ, UJ & Denbo, I think the "Gas Torch Fever" is now out my system, still have a "Texas" plate waiting in the wings, will try and think of something different for that one! :-D

Comment by Uncle John on November 14, 2019 at 4:03am: Okay. It does look good with the plate on there. Good colors. Great looking build.

Comment by BrianQ. on November 13, 2019 at 10:05pm: Wow, that’s an awesome finish you’ve got there Alan!! Two thumbs up!!
