Don't think you will have a problem selling them. I know I need three.

I have a large lunchbox opening in mine along a nice speaker hole in both my door panels. At this point I'm thinking of filling them with a radio/cd player and speakers. Thant way I can listen to Montgomery Gentry on the way to Iowa hurrah.gif

there ya go thrush.

he's willing to do aluminum, it's just gonna cost more. he also likes the idea of just not having tabs and using some two sided tape like what holds newer car trim emblems on. i'll keep you all posted.

I'm thinking of making a repair piece, blank or with the stock holes.

I know that I can weld mine in. For those who can't, I bet a flanged piece with some JB Weld on the back would allow you to use body filler on the front to smooth it out.

I have a really large hole in my dash, 2"x 7.25". Must have been an 8 Track!

Who has the biggest radio cut out?

I like the idea.... I like the lightning and gear design.

When considering a plate to cover the 'garage door opening' holes, if possible, you might want to consider making the plate out of fairly thin aluminum or like material that could be shaped (maybe by the buyer - maybe not) to conform to the curve of the bottom of the dash. I've seen some holes that go down into the curve of the dash, so a curved plate could/should take that into consideration. In fact, if the cover extended from the midline of the dash down and to the end of the dash curvature, then any and all garage door holes would be covered.

Just a thought,,,,,,,,, Good Luck!

:iagree:

It would have to be formable because you never know where they cut the hole.
