As for the delete plate dies we have, they are 100% exact with plasma cutting on the ends to match the factory finish. You can't tell these from original GM! I dont sell these though and are only used on local west coast circuit cars in SS/A on through. Best interest in these were to reduce weight by removing the heater core assembly-etc. I bought a complete set back in the late 80's and tooled the dies from original equipment. We considered an Aluminum copy of the dash plate(69) and then anodize it Black but there wasnt enough call to do that. I do not intend on misleading these at all and are not on any street cars or resto's. (these are not for sale by the way...). I was just wondering what the Board here would respond on this; I had tossed it around in my head for a while whether I should communicate this at all. I hope no one is angered over any of this...
