Received the new radio today. Yes, it costs about the same as a NOS FM unit, but it looks the part to me, plus it will actually sound decent. I apologize to all the purists.
I was surprised by the size and how light it is compared to the original.
I'll start making some progress again, as the weather has cooled off and some parts have made it in. I will have supports for the bucket seats and a console arriving soon.
I also acquired a 60 Biscayne recently and that has been a distraction playing with that, but I'm going to put it on the back shelf for a bit. I also need to get going on US Tom - I need to get these things finished!
