looking to purchase cinsole shifter plate for 68 4 spd.

If it is broke, disregard. However, if it is just dingy and scatched up, you might try what I just did. I stipped all items from the plastic console. Then wet-sanded out all scratches with 1500 grit sandpaper. Then polished with ?some brand? of plastic "scratch remover / polish". I looks GREAT. Brought back that new dark black look. Now I'm trying to find a silver leafing pen to add the siver stripes back on it, as they were worn off over time...

OK, SO HOW DID IT TURN OUT???

I HAVE A '68 WITH A PRETTY UGLY SHIFT CONSOLE PLATE TOO, AND I HAVE HEARD SO MANY WAYS TO RESTORE IT. ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS? THEY ARE SO RARE, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO SCREW IT UP!

AC or non AC?

I used a gel pen on my 70 console for the VOLUME and TUNING letters. It worked great! May work for a 68 plate.

It was a creative memories silver pen my wife uses for her photo albums.

Let it dry overnight so it does not smear. After it dries so far so good!

See that- now I won't complain so much at all the scrapbooking garbage my wife keeps buying. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

To answer the question "How did it turn out?", above, I just got it back in the car. Looks great, including the silver from the Krylon Silver Leafing Pen. You can order those from any high-end arts store that sells to art students, for about $8. One note: I am guessing the sheen is a tad glassier than original and certainly glossy enough that you need to do the upper console/guage cluster to match. I am guessing you could wipe off the wax portion of the plastic polish/wax with some alcohol when done and knock the sheen down a notch. Also, I would assume time and wear will take care of that sufficiently that I am not worried about it...
