If you think that's unique, try the 1956 Chevy Bel Aire. You had to turn the lock tab on the top of the left rear tail light and the whole light assembly would tilt down to expose the gas cap.
as far as I know for embossing you will need a metal stamp to press into the metal. And that pretty much limits what you can do. I assume you want to do repousse (see link below) you would slowly work your design into the metal. You would need a bowl with pitch, the size depending on the size of work you want to do, bits of copper sheet, a plumbers torch and a couple of chasing tools (which you can make yourself out of toolsteel if you know how to harden and temper the steel). You anneal the sheet of copper, fix it on the pitch and start working your design in the soft copper. Once it's work hardened you anneal again, but then you work from the other side of the sheet of copper. You repeat the process until you are happy. If you just want to do repousse and have some experience with metal working I don't think you need a class, but it would be useful if you could do silver solderinging and other metal working techniques. Usually those things are taught in jewelry classes, so you could check if there are any offered in your area which include those techniques.
My 71 Camaros license plate flips down. Funny thing is my 84 Z28 license plate flips down but only has hatch lock behind it.
