Radio delete/cover plate
I've owned my car a long time, a 71 Cutlass. At one time I had a larger radio installed in the factory location, cut to fit. I wanted my tunes.
Now a days, I think that was a dumb idea and I want to cover this hole up, If only for cosmetic reasons. I don't need tunes anymore. The engine makes all the ones I need to hear.
What are my options?
Can I get a similar piece that is reproduced, or...a piece cut from a donor dash or glove box door...any ideas?

Years ago I had a 1971 Cutlass that had a factory plate over where the radio would have gone. I know a couple members here have had them for sale, I tried the search option and came up with these two threads. You might check with them to see if they have one for sale. Or create a parts wanted thread to see if one is offered up?

Here's a pic of the reproduction radio delete plate in my '67 442 which I purchased online years ago:

Ditto with just listening to the engine hum .... solid lifters, 2" primary headers / 3" exhaust, dual Holley 780's and rock crusher whine ... brings harmony to my ears!

Fusicks has them & you can get just the 2 lower dash pieces(dash & glovebox for $109 instead of their 3 pc(with cluster woodgrain) set for $169. H&H's are $160,They don't say but I'm assuming thats for all 3 pcs. Don't get them from the parts place, my buddy bought theirs for his '70 W31 And the fit was horrible, also the woodgrain looked poor & there was no adhesive on them,like Fusick's has.
