Rallye Dash Resto

Yeah I'm aware of the mods done to the OEM radio housings but consider... the cd just reached it 25th birthday. Today we have sattelite radio , mp3/mp4 digital, navagation, and blue tooth, and who knows whats next.
My goal is to take advantage of all that wasted space between the factory radio location and speaker grille. Their heater control really was "Lost In Space".
Besides with covering materials like wood grain, carbon fiber laminates and such , the butchering of the plastic itself can look like crap (most does) and be repeated time and again.
Maybe someone will address the die cutting of various materials for covering the upper panel sections. Only available today is the 68 up linier wood grain. I had to do my 67 burlwood by hand.
Not all my ideas are good ideas but I'm quite proud of a few of them. :)
