Another cool tip, I also didn't know the '66 had a textured dash.

Yep, here's a couple shots of the glovebox door and heater controls. It's about the same texture as 180-220 grit sandpaper.






I was at a local scrap dealer yesterday and picked up a floor shift lever from an early 50's Chevy 3100. I'll weld on a tab to mount it to the T56 and get an original shift knob engraved with the 6 speed pattern. It's solid forged instead of a hollow tube, so it should hold up to any abuse it "might" encounter.







If I can find one, I'll sand the 4/5 speed shift pattern off an original shift knob and have the six speed pattern engraved, filled with white paint, then clear coat it. I don't know anyone that does precision engraving though.
