To cut the dash or not to cut the dash?

Interesting question..... I guess if you are planning to sell the car or advertise the car as 1000% STOCK.... OR if you plan on building a BJ or mecums candidate then don't cut it. HOWEVER if you are building a street machine and changing the color of the car and changing the wheels of the car and the tires...etc etc etc...then WHY NOT HAVE A DECENT RADIO mounted in the dash where you can see it and use it?.....a few people do care about that most do not....most would rather have a good radio that they can actually HEAR above the modified exhaust......after traversing the Woodward cruise every year since it started.......I can pretty much say with a reasonable level of authority....there are FAR more cars out there with updated radio equipment than with the OE crap from back in the day...... again if you are going for originality and have stock tires wheels interior engine trans brakes etc etc etc etc...then leave it...else put in what makes you happy
my 2 cents
