RE: Finish Plates (was eBay Auction)

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have two 65 consoles, one rough and one very nice to turn my Belvedere
into a Belvelitte.
I had Gary post pictures of them on the site.
I'm waiting for ACC to get back to me (3 weeks now) on making the carpets
from my patterns.
The driver side of the auto has a filler piece where the hump would be on a
stick.
Maybe I should email the top plate guy and donate an auto top plate for
copying?

Is your car a 4-spd Dave? Do you have the right finish plate for a
4-spd?
