I contacted Customer Service at Classic Parts. The person I spoke to said it mounts on the back side of the dash, but he didn't sound sure of himself and I'm not sure I believe it. That's why I'm asking you guys. If the faceplate mounts on the back of the dash, there's the lip issue mentioned above, and why would it be chrome? You wouldn't be able to see it. On the other hand, if it mounts up front, the faceplate must be removable, because there would be no way to get the faceplate up front and the radio in back (unless the entire radio stuffs through the hole in the dash). Hopefully somebody who owns one will chime in soon. Thanks.
