To cut or not to cut

[ECU PIRATE]

Greetings members

I can consider myself a purist when it comes to restoring or building a car. On my current build (Project Brown Hornet), I am trying to decide what to do concerning installing a new radio. Do I cut the dash to install an up-to-date DIN style receiver or, do I opt to leave it as is and go with an old skool shaft style set up? These shaft style head units are getting harder and harder to find and, are pretty pricey when you can actually find them. You guys have all been so helpful on my current build that, I am just trying to get a consensus of the best way to go about this. My dad and I didn't cut the dash on my 68' Camaro when we restored it 20+ years ago and I would not like to start with this one either.....................
