    Nice work! Very detailed for a first attempt. Be careful, you will have everone in your area asking you to do their interiors......

    Wow! That looks really nice. Now that you have a little practice the was it as hard as you thought? I have looked at some cars to buy than see the interior and get scared and pass on the deal.

    It IS a lot of work.

    VERY tedious.

    But, I'm sure it gets easier.

    Yeah,thats really cool!
    New guts in the original radio is just cooler than brand new overprized retro radio.

    Here is their website...

    http://www.randbvintageautoradio.com


    Richard is the owner, nice guy, very professional.
    I talked to him at one of the local swap meets and liked the idea of converting an
    original radio.

    He's good at returning email, contact info is on his website.
