Seems that in the past- someone had enlarged the radio area in the dash, and to correct that they added an aftermarket metal plate that simulates what the correct radio cutout area would be. But......they did a sloppy job of putting this plate in and welded it to the dash, and used body filler to correct the bad job. anyone have a close up of a '65 dash where the radio goes, so I can see the contours?

 

Wow, that must really be bad, if you can't figure it out.

 

2+2 - thanks for the reply. the dash is being worked on and hopefully it comes out looking like the picture you had in your reply. thanks again
