delete plate
I looked for a delete plate and radio for my 58.I could not find anything I liked.so I made one,I machined the back so it would sit flat,and took to the local sign shop and had them lazer etch the logo,it was cheep $15.00,if I had planed ahead I would have smoothed the dash,but I did not,also bought a hand full of wiper knobs ,drilled and tapped them for the other holes

Re: delete plate
No pics? It never happened!
 But seriously, I bought a non-working ‘55 radio for my truck just to fill the hole. Now I feel it’s too big to mount for no purpose so I’m thinking about leaving it out and using a delete plate. But I want it chromed and the factory delete plate is pretty thin sheet metal. Here’s one in a ‘40 Ford pickup that looks a lot more substantial - I’d love to have something like this so I am interested in what you had made. I’ve been thinking about having a finned aluminum one made so that I could polish it and maybe use a small enameled Chevy bow tie emblem or a “Body by Fisher” emblem in the center of it.

"Insert Radio Here"
Yes, I have a dry sense of humor. I had a radio delete plate in my truck, which I removed to test fit a custom faceplate. I have never found the delete plate again! |
