OneStopRestoration's Special Orange 69 Chevelle 300 Deluxe Coupe

[OneStopRestoration]

Radio Delete plate is pretty nice, but it was way oversized on all dimensions not allowing it to sit in the dash as I think it should. The plate sticks over the lower chrome strip edge that is exposed. It was also too wide. (first two pictures) All sides had to be trimmed. The one i bought had an original label from the Parts Place.

Last few pictures show how it now sits down inside the recess. Had to make a bracket for function, rather than perfect originallity. Once complete it fit very nice

Here's an NOS '69 for comparison. Fine work you're doing.

Hi Rick, thanks so much for taking the time and effort providing the photos and information, very much appreciated!

When you start with a dry state car most items like the astro ventillation emblem just polish up and need fresh paint.

I had a dash pad in storage that i could tell had a nice layer of paint on it, which really helped preserve it. Found it was an original dark green dash, but dyed really nice. I think PPG discountinued the SB12 last year interior dye last year. I stocked up cause the stuff is really nice. Gives the dash a nice sheen.
