I did that to my wall too when we moved in our house about 10 years ago. I got the idea from a farm my Dad and I used to rabbit hunt on. In the garage by the house they had license plates up on the walls like that and I thought it would look cool one day when we bought a house. I have every year from '49-'92 from KY around the wall with some from other states to finish it. Before they auctioned off the house where I got the idea from because the owner passing away, their son knew I liked old stuff and gave me some of the license plates that were in the garage so they are included on my wall. Good luck on finishing it and post pics when you complete it.
