Very cool. First time I have ever seen someone make a torqueflite panel for the '56 Plymouth in the original style. It no longer says "New Powerflite" there so he must have made up a new panel with the old waffle pattern on it. But....why go to all the trouble if you are going to install a floor shifter?? That steering wheel sure is ugly, like a big wart on an otherwise beautiful woman.

A member here(GaryS) did it too I think, but he might have ended up going with a floor shifter. He sent me some aluminum plate that is very close to the original cover and I plan to do the same thing. I think Gary Pavlovich is using an extra radio bezel to make his. Maybe I can have some friends of mine take the time to program it for a waterjet and I will make a few extras when I get around to it.

And now that I think of it Nathan, there was a '56 Fury out at the Spring Fling many years ago that had been retrofitted with a cast iron Torqueflite and they had made a proper looking shifter cover from that car. I will see if I have a picture of it.

Cool, if you make some of those, I would really like one of them and I will help offset your cost to get them cut out. Let me know when/if you do it.
