Antique Plates
I just got my antique plates for my '77. The holes are on top of the plates. The nut plates are on the bottom where they receive the mounting screws. Does anybody just drill the holes in the plate to make them fit? Or do I need to let the DMV know the problem here in VA?
Thanks

Trying to make sense of DMV, makes little to no sense...

Either drill the holes, or go to BK and buy a set of period "correct" plates from the vendor out there - put 'em on your car and be done w/ it
