Naja's "I know this road" Cruise

Yeah, I trying to track down a little problem. I'll post it in the other thread for the supercharger. I'm glad you were able to get out with the group though. Hope you had a blast and I look forward to seeing you on the next one.
 
Musta been those funny sunglasses you had on Naja:D:D You know, the one's that changed my car to Brown :confused: :D
 
That was the first thing my wife said when I showed her the pictures yesterday, that purple venom looks brown in the fire station pictures.
 
Front Plates???

I noticed in the photos that some of the cars do not have front license plates. Are you guys just taking a chance or do you have the original year plates when only one plate was issued?
 
I am just taking a chance. I spoke with the Jefferson County Sheriff's office and they said that they would not stop a car like this because of a missing front plate, but the state patrol would. I am going to order the front plate bracket this week.
 
I have no provisions for a front plate. I carry it with me most times, but rarely. Have followed, met, driven beside and been actualy stopped by police (for speeding) but none ever said or did anything about no front plate. Guess my time is coming. :rolleyes:
 
My front plate is on a cabinet hinge made by Mike D. . It's always there in case I need it but has never been flipped down except to show it to folks who comment that I don't have a front plate. I figure that if I ever get stopped for not having it, I will tell the nice Officer that I flip it up for period correctness at shows and shows must have forgotten to put it back down :).
 
Thanks for the idea. Do you have a picture of what it looks like on the car?
 
I just looked through my pictures and don't have one from a low enough angle that you can see anything. If it's up you can't see it at all. I will try to remember to take a picture of it while laying on the ground and with it down soon.

Is the cabinet hinge spring loaded or is there a latch in the rear to keep it up when desired? Neat idea Mikey D. :cool:

It's a spring loaded hinge. Mounted with 2 - 10-32 stainless button head screws to the top of the "mouth". It flips itself up when you push it beyond half way and stays put. I have never driven with it down but I would guess that if I did, It would be self storing at about 50 MPH.
 
Man that is cool. How much does Mike D. charge for this bracket and is he still making them?
 
Mike is quite busy with work and building his GTM when he can find the time. I don't think there is any way that he would stop to make brackets at any price. Grab a hinge and a piece of aluminum stock at Lowe's and give it a try some rainy afternoon :).
 
Has anyone ever been stopped due to lack of a front plate? I haven't ever placed it on a car and I have never been stopped. Did I just push my luck:rolleyes:?
 
Never been stopped for that. I've been stopped for speeding, the officer walked to the front of the car and saw that it didn't have a plate, didn't say a word.
 
I asked STL Mike on the Naja's cruise and he has been stopped for not having a front plate. The state patrol said they would when I talked to troop "C" but I have never been pulled over.
