70 Challenger radio delete plate

[Stu]

I’ve been looking for an aftermarket delete plate for the radio, preferably to match the ribbed effect on the dash, but doesn’t look like anyone does one for a 70. Anyone have any ideas if another year used the same size radio?

From what I can tell, they didn’t use a delete plate from the factory if a car was ordered as a radio delete, they supplied with a complete blank panel, like in the pic I’ve attached. The example shown is a smoothie one fitted. Still called the option radio delete rather than no radio, even though the radio was an option. Panel is unique to 70, so although I can get 71-74, they won’t fit.

No one seems to repop these either for a 70.

Any ideas? Thought I might try and source some ribbed plastic to match from someone and cut a plate, but no idea where to start there either.

I’ll be honest, I’m going to cut holes in it anyway, so not looking to pay mental money for an original.

When I started looking I had thought it would be relatively easy to pick up this sort of plate and spray it. Ideally this is what I’m after.
