Installing a new stereo in the dash...help please..

wow...lots of great ideas..

Some are expensive and I have gone over budget this year so the wife is eying me closely...and I just want to get this on the road..

I actually am building a console..I am up to almost 60 bucks at the moment...but yours is much wider than mine....mine is 7.5 inches wide...that is dictated by the seats that I have,..

I am building a variant of this...



The kids have said no to the glove box idea. I actually liked that idea..

The son thought that if I cut down the front of the console, the unit could be snugged in under the ash tray..

I see only 3 screws...anybody have experience installing under dash to this location ?

Thanks
Ian.
