Calling Richescorvettes
Hello!
What are the chances of gettin another shifter plate fabbed up? My buddy has a 5 Speeder in a 65 Chevelle. He lives in Litchfield and likley would drive to Enfield to make the payment and the pick up. No doubt he would go nuts to see your cars. Let me know what you think, he has a cardboard cut out of the place in the console where the plate would go..

Re: Calling Richescorvettes (TheOman)
Ray,
I just came across your thread. Ironically, I just had a C2 plate made for another forum member this week.
The plates for a C2 measure 1.45" wide by 2.35 high. I'm sure the area where a Chevelle plate goes would be a different size. If so, the trophy shop I use would have to make up a plate to fit and might resize the shift pattern to make it look right. The "artwork" involved in redoing the plate would cost a little more than what I can have the C2 plates made for but, once I know the dimensions, I can check to see what it would cost. Have your friend send me the exact dimensions and I can find out what it would be. As I recall from the last one it was $12.50 to have a different size made and I would think this would be a good estimate.
Your friend can e-mail me the dimensions at: richscorvettes@***.net. Once it's ready, he's more than welcome to come pick it up here if he wants.

Re: Calling Richescorvettes (richscorvettes)
I will get the dimensions from him and E-mail you. Believe it or not, and I am almost ashamed to admit that a friend of mine is like this, he is not Internet Savy. Said another way he is a freakin Luddite! Good guy but a Luddite. He can handle complex precision NC machine tools but the internet.....not gonna happen.
Just in case you don't know what a Luddite is. A guy named Robert or Richard or something Ludd grew up in England during the industrial revolution in the English textile mills. He was opposed to mechanization and the factory system and he sorta gathered a group of followers who were like minded. They went around England destroying machinery in the mills. They became known as Luddites. Today being a Luddite has a similar anti technology meaning, mosly an anti computer technology connotation.

Ray,
Okay, but I don't think I'll mention to your friend how you have characterized his computer skills. :D I think the politically correct term these days might be "technologically challenged" :rolleyes: :lol:

Re: Calling Richescorvettes (richscorvettes)
The strange thing is that he is not technically challenged. He is very attentive to small details, some of the CNC machine work he did is on parts incorporated in the Space Shuttle ( he worked for a sub contractor of a sub contractor), he is very enamoured with technology in some of the tuner cars like LPE or the German tuner BMW's but he just refuses to get involved with PC's. When it comes to PCs he is kinda like the Unibomber without the explosives. I suspect it is all based in the constant updates required to software, the annual obsolesence of hardware and that stuff. He is very change averse, he wants to do it once and forget it. Not so with PCs. Stand by dimensions will follow soon.
