Thought I'd share some pics of my completed radio project. Fabbed a plate from some 1/8" masonite and some scrap aluminum to mount a RetroSound 5x7 Dual voce coil speaker. Don't listen to radio much but this should suffice. Since my dash had already been cut for an "am/fm-cassette deck",and I couldn't afford some of the really nice aluminum ones seen here, I whittled up the last vestiges of some 3/4" thick solid walnut, left over from a coffee table I made in high school back in the early '60s. Got it all done and even though the wiring's not done, I couldn't resist the urge to stuff the head unit in place.

Dash cluster was disassembled, cleaned and a careful application of flat black, silver and masking tape..

Time spent - whole day Monday

$$$$ spent - PRICELESS
