More to the saga...
I just recieved a full(unhacked console) and can definatively state that it will not fit inplace with the floor vent that I have..
Also just for info.
Since I thought no one made a reproduction of this specific console, and since there are more of these on the road than 65-66's. I was working on making a reproduction myself. Much to my dissapointment I just recently discovered that classicautosupply.net sells a completly reproduction console(all pieces reproduction) for $900. They dont sell the base alone...yet. (This is the same console that you see on ebay with a buyitnow for$950).
Unfortunately I have purchased 4 console bases off of ebay in the past several months that I am using for patterns for the molds and now considering scrapping the project and just restoring/selling the console bases that I have purchased. I guess I should find/reproduce the floor vent since that looks like a piece folks will need to keep from hacking good consoles.
