Re: Builders Plates
I could tell that he would be enjoyable to work with in the first ten minutes of the call, which ran on for a while. He no longer makes decals. Price range for what I am looking at is very reasonable.

Re: Builders Plates
This came from Robert Dustin today. It is a proof for a Builders Plate on the back of the cab.
He is also doing me a small plate showing the rebuild this last year.

Re: Builders Plates
The second plate proof. He does nice work to say the least. Waiting for the damages so I can mail him a check.

Re: Builders Plates
I have bought R. Dustins plates as well. Used them as a pattern to make silicone rubber molds then
poured waxes to have lost wax cast in silicon bronze by an art caster. Beautiful.

Re: Builders Plates
The patent place on my cross-compound pump is an R. Dustin product.
He does wonderful work!

Re: Builders Plates
And reasonable as the cost of the two plates, which are 1 7/8 wide, was 94 total.

Re: Builders Plates
The custom plates from Robert Dustin came in the mail today.
Definitely worth the money and a pleasure to work with.
Cannot say enough good things about the product or the service.
