    Retrosound Radio. YUCK 2/10

    I put a Retrosound in my ‘66 Bug and I love it. Granted it’s only a shaft radio and not a more complex thumbwheel Redondo. One big negative about my Retrosound is that it drains the battery within a couple of days.

    Modern 71 Dart Radio

    You’re in Canada, email Mr Heaterbox out of Harrowsmith Ontario. I found them to have the best price on a conversion, in Canadian funds too. My friend had a radio out of an MG converted to modern internals and he was really happy with the quality of workmanship.

    Questions about padded dash trim on darts

    I’ve got that trim on my A/C vents that I purchased from a guy in Colorado. I’m not close to my car but will post a picture when I can. I installed the vents in my ‘69 Dart and think the vents look unfinished without the trim.

    Thumbwheel radio quality

    I have a Retrosound in my Bug and I really like it. It has great features with Bluetooth, USB and auxiliary jack. I talked with a guy at a cruise night with a thumbwheel Retrosound in his 69 Dart and he really liked it too. One thing I noticed was that the thumbwheels on the Retrosound didn’t...

    Factory window tint

    I don't like dark tint on a classic car so I used a clear UV tint on my '69 Dart. I found that after I installed A/C, driving with the clear factory non tint windows up, the sun's rays were really beating down on my skin. I noticed a big difference in the sun's intensity inside the car after...

    Dashboard Pad Removal

    The ‘68 pad under the A/C vents really finishes the ducts off nicely. It looks way better with the pad then without. Without that pad under the vents looks like it’s unfinished.

    Thumbwheel Radio Bezel Mystery

    This is the 2864514 which makes sense as on higher level cars have the dash trim on the glovebox. Funny thing is that this bezel is a 3 hole mount surrounding the radio too.

    Thumbwheel Radio Bezel Mystery

    I bought a NOS Radio bezel sight unseen for my ‘69 Dart thumbwheel radio using the factory 69 parts manual as a reference for the correct part number. I was surprised to receive a bezel with the correct part number 2864525 on it but has a 3 hole mount instead of a 4 hole mount like my original...

    Rubber/Vinyl Flooring

    Thank for posting your feedback on the ACC kit. I’m really glad I ordered the MOULDED carpet then! I decided to abandon the vinyl flooring idea because according to my research, if you ordered a 4 speed in a ‘69 Dart you got upgraded to carpet from vinyl. The very shitty thing was that I had...

    Removing Instrument Bezel Lens

    Hey Fellow FABOers, What is the best way to remove the instrument bezel lens on my ‘69 Dart so I don’t screw myself when I try to re-install it? Also, what polishing compound have you used with good results on the lens and what is the best way to re-secure it to the bezel? Thank you,

    Feedback Requested On Reproduction ‘69 Dart Dash Bezel

    Not that I know of. l bought a done heater bezel off Mr. G’s when he was clearing his inventory out. All the instrument bezels were sold. I’ve looked at G-car, Instrument Specialties and I’m looking at another place called Vacuumorna-Metal just outside of Detroit. They were recommended by Auto...

    Feedback Requested On Reproduction ‘69 Dart Dash Bezel

    Thank you for your reply SGBARRACUDA. I’ve heard that when the bezels were initially released the quality was terrible. How long ago did you buy them? I would hope they got the issues with the bezels cleared up by now.

    feedback sought for Retro Radio's Redondo RS Radio (knob type)

    I have the Retrosound Redondo radio in my ‘66 Beetle. The main body is what they call the Motor 2 which I think is the same body as used on the ‘67 Dart radio. I really like the radio, the sound is really good despite having only a dash speaker. It looks great and I love the ability to have a...
