Thanks all, I did remove the placards, I made a mounting plaque, routing a nice edge and placing a round framed photo of the car and trophies at the top. After retirement and impending move south I didn't really have the room and I did see the need to keep them. It would have been another thing to move and Lord knows I have enough junk...at least that's what the wife says
When I complete the mounting plaque I will post a photo
