Hey Phil, I've got the same problem. I contacted Military Data Plates because they have some data plates for T-16's. I asked him how much to make the Ford Canada plate and the carburator starting plate for the Canadian UC. Here is his answer.

I'LL EXPLAIN HOW THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS WORKS SO THAT YOU WON'T GO INTO STICKER SHOCK. I HAVE 3 MIL SPEC SUPPLIERS WHO MAKE PLATES ACCORDING TO THE MILITARY SPECIFICATIONS FOR DURABILITY, LONGEVITY , COLOR DURABILITY, ETC. STARTING FROM SCRATCH AS WE ARE DOING HERE WITH TWO PLATES REQUIRES TWO SETS OF ART WORK @ APPROX $50-100 EACH AND THEN A PRODUCTION RUN OF PLATES-- 1EA $35, 10 EA $31, 25 EA $28, 50 EA $26, 100 EA $22, 1000 EA $19. IF YOU WANT JUST ONE OF EACH YOU WOULD BE FACING A BILL OF APPROX $220.

ON POPULAR SERIES VEHICLES I HAVE BEEN SPLITTING THE ARTWORK COSTS WITH THE CUSTOMER AND THEN CHARGING FOR THE COST OF THE FIRST PLATE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE MARKET FOR THESE IS SO I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO TRY THIS.

SORRY IT'S SO STEEP. IT CAN BE DONE FOR ABOUT $75 EA PLATE BUT THE LIFE EXPECTANCY IS NIL. A FEW RAINSTORMS OR A MONTH IN THE HOT SUN AND YOU HAVE BLEACHED ALUMINUM. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST.

If we can get together a bunch of orders we should be able to get a decent price.
