Re: Palf's 1970 Custom/10
Also up was installing my Christmas present from the wife and son, a new stereo unit that I don't have to cut up the dash to use it. It's a Retrosound Hermosa model. Not the top end, but it gives me the ability to use my USB music sticks for long drives. It was too much fun to take pictures of the install, but it wasn't too awful bad. Having to put it together to fit in the space was a bit cumbersome, but I didn't take my pistol out at all during install. Before I put the head unit in, I swapped out the front speakers with a set of duals. I also put in some kick panel units and speakers. Unfortunately one of Ed's kick panel speakers was bad, so I am 3-speakering it until the new ones arrive. It sounds OK. I had to trim the emergency brake pedal to clear the driver's side speaker better. I'll probably shift the dimmer switch up and over a bit when I go to do insulation and carpeting. The USB connection is in the govebox.
But for now, she is ready for its first ling trip with me on Saturday.
