Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?

Great looking product. Any chance that piece would be useable in any other classic gm vehicles? That might help you have more potential customers. I'm not familiar enough with other classics, but something for you to consider.

I thought about that, but since the ignition bezel and lighter bezel screw on, I have to put some thought into it.

I agree, I'm not getting much interest from the 67-72 crowd so I'm going to see what else it might fit

Interested in the one piece w/ the bezels to screw into also...and also think that you will find the market will open up once some of these are installed and show up in rides on the boards...

A billet ignition bezel would be crazy! But given the amount of machining needed.....crazy expensive sounds more like it.

Oh- I'm sure there's plenty of interest in your kick-a$$ stuff, myself included. I suspect that there are alot of folks on here like me who've had a big chunk of their disposable income chewed up by the rising costs of everything. I swear I'll get a paypal out to you in the next couple weeks for at least a radio bezel and hopefully a heater bezel too (if the allowance will cover it).

Thanks for your great products and patience.
