I continue to work on the dash. Ive tried to keep it looking somewhat stock but changing it to fit my needs. The biggest change was the gauges and cutting the radio bezel to fit around them. Now with the radio area changed I needed to find a place for a radio. I decided to put it into the glove box area. Couple of days ago I had an idea, and heres what it led to:
First I had some aluminum angle that I cut and fit around the old mounting area for the cardboard glove box. The angle ended up being 1 1/2" X 1 1/2". I tried 1" x 1" at first but it didnt give me enough clearance for the door to close: View attachment IMG_0879.jpg
My friend welded this up and with some flat aluminum plate i made a faceplate. Cut an opening for the radio to go thru and ended up with this: View attachment IMG_0878.jpg
Here it is in the bracket and mounted in the dash: View attachment IMAG0589.jpg View attachment IMAG0591.jpg View attachment IMAG0594.jpg View attachment DSCN0550.jpg View attachment DSCN0553.jpg
