<VV> Radio Conversion? - Hide it

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Guys - The best ever solution to your conundrum is Rick Norris' solution  
for his V8. He took the complete stock AM radio, faceplate, knobs and  all 
and assembled it into a single outward-facing unit -with absolutely  nothing 
behind the front faceplate. It was just the front visual, looking  for all 
the world like the stock AM. The "plate" was hinged (at the bottom, I  think) 
and flipped down to reveal the actual DIN chassis unit behind. Pick  the 
modern radio of your choice. Cool solution! - Seth

Thanks guys for your feedback.  While the radio looks pretty  good, I 
haven't yet worked out the final aesthetics, for example, the station  buttons 
are no longer used and while the stock '66 outer radio knobs fit the  new 
shafts perfectly, the decorative washer knobs behind the outer knobs  don't.
