1968 442 Convertible Floor Hump

I ordered a manual transmission floor hump from Auto Metal Direct and received this Stupid Plastic Hump
Anyone have a lead on where I can get a sheet metal hump?

No help here. I googled "hump." You don't want to know what results I got.

Auto Metal Direct and they ship you a plastic piece with no mention that it is plastic. This world is so full of BS...

I knew I was screwed when I picked up the box. It felt like a Tupperware bowl was inside! Actually, a Tupperware bowl is probably heavier!

No it's not, it's a 70-72. As far as I know they don't reproduce it.

It takes a while but used ones come up for sale once in a while

If you get really bored you can make one..... I probably still have the wood templates somewhere....lol

Both of my four speed cars did not have a hump from the factory. Just a nice torch cut hole.

I’ve used the one that The Parts Place has for a 68. It’s actually pretty close, you just have to enlarge the hole a bit, but the shape is right.
