Father, Son, and Grand Father project. 1963 Valiant

Next we worked on the radio. We had a complete AM radio with a perfect face plate. And an AM/FM from a 1973 scamp. Enter my idea……red neck retro sounds. This is going to be good.



This is what we started with. Factory
AM radio. It dosent work…and unless your into Rush Limbaugh…AM sucks. Lol. But Jason loves the look of the AM faceplate. So here's what we did.





We took the 1973 FM radio, and modified the faceplate to fit the square buttons. The factory AM knobs fit perfect.



Here it is test fitted in the dash. Looks almost totally stock at the casual glance. But a closer look through the dial reveals ……


BAM! The FM dial hiding behind the factory face plate. Total cost involved…$0. Straight up awesome.

Thanks. Eric and Jason.
