Default Center Console for Manual 68-69

So pretty much the consoles for the manual transmission equipped 68s and 69s are pretty hard to find and when I have seen them on ebay, even in rough shape they go for a pretty penny.

This brings me to my thought.

I have an automatic console that I traded for a Camaro console back before I knew better.
I was wondering if anyone had ever modified the top plate on the auto console to be a manual trans console?

I figure it couldnt be too bad. I could remove all teh fake wood grain cut the metal and weld in a piece of sheetmetal, cut a whole using the new fake wood grain sticker as a template.

anybody?
