[DeTomaso] Distributor / Radio Plate

[Steve]

Wow - Jeff - that is perfect!  In a similar vein, on our Daytona Coupe - came with fancy radio with lots of other electronic things hooked to it.  All came out and I used the original delete plate as a door for a small glove box.  

I apologize about the quality of the photo's but look better than those shot with a flash...

With a little notch in the metal console you can lower the radio and then use the radio delete. It flips open when you want to adjust the radio.
