Title: anyone make a custom radio/stereo holder?
Post by: 78_starsky on June 06, 2010, 07:05:02 PM
Hey all,   I was wondering if anyone has made their own indash radio/stereo holder?  The car that we are building is missing the radio holder parts, (all that is there is the huge hole where the radio should be)  and I was wondering if anyone has built their own custom holder that fits snuggly into the dash....  if you have built one up could you please post a few pics of your work?  And also does anyone know if all of them are the same size?  i have a 77/78 3 door runabout.  (I am thinking about building a custom one and need insights)

thanks muchly

The radio in my 78 sedan is screwed to a block of wood, which is then bolted to the dash from the bottom. It works, doesn't move around, and I never have to look at the wood, so I don't mind! :)

All radio face plates fit but the 77- 80 plates are plastic,and the early years  steel..
