What to do with a missing radio?
I searched and couldn't find anything, but what have you guys done with the stock radio holes in the dash? I was thinking about trying to find an old radio to put in just so it looks good but I don't know how hard it will be to find something like that. My other idea was to cut metal and just weld it all shut, but I think that will look stupid. What did you guys do with this area of the dash? I need some ideas.

Re: What to do with a missing radio?
There are quite a few companies that sell a repoduction radio that will fit that hole in your dash. Another option is to buy the knock out covers. I've see them on Ebay.

Re: What to do with a missing radio?
If you want a stock look find a radio delete plate and blank covers for the knob holes. 'Don't know if they are reproduced, I lucked into one in a wrecking yard 20years ago for my 59. It a square with rounded side with a bowtie symbol stamped on it. Clips into the stock hole.
