John G. from Australia Robert, plates received yesterday. Just a big thanks for an excellent set of plates. You really have a skill!
John from the USA Hello Robert,

I just received the CJ-2A data plates today.
Sean was right. These are magnificient! It's as though you found a secret stash of NOS plates.
Plus I was very pleased at your care in duplicating the slope of the original lettering. A wonderful touch.
They are more than I expected. Even the fonts you chose are better than the reproductions I have.

Thank you so much. I will be recommending you to all I can.

Gazel from the USA I just got the data plates yesterday, and they look great but honestly from your examples online I figured they would look great. The thing that really knocked me off my feet were the hood stencils they look great, and I never thought I would be able to find one as close to factory as this.
Jean from France

Hi Robert;

Just received your registration number stencils this morning, they look amazing!  

If I would have to quote in general for your services on a list from 0 to 10, I would rate it at 10 of 10 possible points, packing 10, execution of art work 10, historical correctness10, and instructions-hints for applying 10, paint color scheme recommendations 10.  

I wish you as many satisfied and happy customers as I am personally.  

I can only strongly recommend your services to the whole jeeper’s community (guys don’t look anywhere else)!  

The most distinguished and very best regards from an old, really enthusiastic “Jeeper”;  

Georges

Take Care.  Sincerely, Brian, Arizona U.S.A.
Roland from Austria
Hello Robert! 
 
Got your dataplates for GPW209xxx just yesterday.
Really amazing!!!!!! I expected high quality plates,
but these are 120%! Keep up your excellent work! 
David from France Gotta join in the crowd in thanking Robert for his plates.
Recently received mine - they were perfect.

And as a graphic designer I appreciate the detail in getting the type right. I compared them to the old replacement ones that the previous owner had fixed to the glove box through the wrong holes - no comparison.

Cheers Robert

Hello Robert! 
 
Got your dataplates for my GPW just yesterday. Really amazing!!!!!! I expected high quality plates, but these are 120%! Keep up your excellent work.
Geoff from England
Hi Robert,
Just a note to say I received your data plates this morning. And what a brilliant job you made of them !!!!!!!!!!!!
I would personally like to thank you for doing them. It is to the finer details that can make or break  a restoration as  well you know.
And your plates do make the perfect finishing touch, certainly I could never have done them anywhere as nice as you have, I guess it`s everyone to their own skill.
As regards the costs involved, all I can say, I don`t know how you can do it for the price when you take into consideration the initial costs of the plates themselves and the time involved.
Thank you once again.
Regards Geoff
Emil from Sweden

Hello Robert!
Exellent work!!! I did buy me a set for my Ford GP and a Ford GPW 1943 and i did buy some trailer dataplates too.

Marc from England I was talking to one of the "dealers" at Beltring who carries Roberts plates in the UK and he was saying that since Robert made him up a glove box door with examples of his plates on he has found them easy to sell, they are a little more expensive than "standard" plates but the quality and correctness of them make them a "nobrainer" when you have just spent $10,000 + on a restoration.
Howard from the USA I ordered a set of reproduction data plates from Robert de Ruyter of the Netherlands at http://www.dataplates4u.com and they arrived yesterday. The quality of his work is astounding. He has put a great deal of research and effort into his products and he can exactly match your vehicle for make and DOD. Even his packaging is perfect, all done by hand, and reflects his comittment to quality. Reproduction attaching hardware is also availiable. I can recommend him highly.
Chris from the UK wrotes; see http://www.g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61479
Bill from the USA I actually had guys convinced that Robert's plates were originals in very, very good condition. I told them they were repops and from Robert and one guy didn't want to believe me. You will not be sorry with his plates.
Tiger from the USA: Greetings Robert, I got the data plates that you sent, I am very impressed. Thank you for a meticulus reproduction job.

Richard from Australia Hi All,
