	On the 63 Dodge, I bought that fibreglass hump about 3 or 4 years
	ago, before the steel repro came out.  If I had the steel one, I'd
	just weld it in.  with the fibreglass one, I've decided that i might
	replace it with the steel one, so I'm going to try a bolt-in
	arrangement, with 4-6 bolts holding it to the floor and weather
	strip sealing it.  I'm not sure if the weatherstrip I have now is the
	one I'm going to use, it may be too thick.   Its a GM weatherstrip
	of some sort, produced by Steele or Metro  (I picked it up in a box
	of odd weatherstriping,  all new, from a bankruptcy sale at a body
	shop).   It'll be handy to be able to remove it  to service the
	tranny.  I may install it over the floor covering, I haven't decided.
	If I decide to install it under the floor covering,  I'll probably
	skip the weatherstrip and use seam-sealer to seal it  (still opting
	to use bolt with clip/nut fasteners).

	On my 64 Dart, first, I used a fibreglass hump, and duct taped it to
	the floor.  the hump was a good fit and didn't even break loose
	or flop around, and being able to remove it to service the tranny 
	has been helpful.  at this time, I had no floor covering in the car.
	when I got rubber mat floor covering, I swapped the fibrelgass unit 
	out for a  factory steel unit and used seam-sealer and pop-rivets to 
	seal and secure it to the floor.  since then I've bought a Millermatic
	135 MIG welder, so when I re-do it (if I redo it) I'd weld it this time.

	the only method of securing the hump I haven't tried is to fibreglass 
	it into place!
