Re: Finish Plates (was eBay Auction)

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Speaking of which, I need to fab a finish plate for my '65, to get rid of 
the tach cutout and add a cupholder where the automatic shifter used to be. 
I was just going to modify an automatic finish plate, but I don't have the 
factory shifter linkage, and the original boundaries of the 4spd finish 
plate aren't big enough.
Do you have any guidelines/advice you'd care to impart?
