Years ago on this site I saw a member do this-

My 64 chevy dash has a HUGE hole for some sort of modern stereo, and I wasn't in the mood for welding up the dash just yet...

so all you need is a 65 c/10 (20,30,40,50,60,80) side emblem and a piece of sheetmetal.

I cut the sheetmetal to be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch bigger than the emblem, then drilled holes so I could bolt the metal to the emblem.

Now all you have to do is hold the emblem over the hole, put the sheetmetal piece over the back, bolt on and voila! no more ugly hole in the dash!!
