thanks for your two posts Rocky!
Mentioning the ever changing wood grain was something I had hoped might see in your last book - but this will suffice for now.
I will repeat that I have never seen a 73+ dash without that area cut open.
The 1979 standard gauge insert I have, has the cover for that spot, as do the '75 & '76 inserts I have.
