I agree on saving the radio area if its not buchered, cut it to save the whole area, mine some putz cut it for a pull out AND the E.Q. but cut it too big, from the cut job I think he was about 8 or so? took a long time to find one to fix it, the aftermarket one I bought was too small. Ironically the one I am going to use to cut the dash from some other putz cut the top off to make a convertible, butchered the doors too! I bought it because its a 60 apache and yet another project, I think I need a 12 step program.
