67 tunnel in a 65????

Im not a welder, but that seems like a lot of work for 2 brackets and a 3 or 4 inch hole. Now, IIRC ,those early As do have a somewhat different shaped floorpan than the 2nd generations.Seems to me the tunnel area was different. However the rug that is glued to the console should take care of that.
-Having said that; Have you considered how different the styling on that console is compared to the styling of the pre-67 interiors.It wouldnt be for me.
-And would you be ditching the push-button set up, or was your car a manual trans?I always thought that typewriter set-up was kinda cool.Totally went with the times.
-Whatever you do, post up some pics.It will be cool.
