Since I'm eventually installing a Chevy 407 small block with a supercharger on it, I'll want a boost gauge anyway. Also helpful with a TO3 on the 235. So I'm thinking about a place to mount a boost gauge. I already have a tach strapped to the steering column so that space is used. I don't want to cut up the original dash. So instead of buying a cassette player (when I really would rather have CDs instead anyway), I can make a boost gauge mount to go in the original radio location and mount a CD player behind a custom flip-down speaker grill. That's a trick idea. The speaker grill would flip down like the glove box door to reveal the modern CD player behind it.

How's that sound?
