What ever happen with the radio mount? I don't know if I skipped a page or something but that was looking darn interesting and I would like to see how it came out.

I ran for years a stereo mounted behind the stock speaker grille. I welded the ash tray cover to the grille, then put hinges at the bottom of the grill and magnets at the top to hold it closed (yeah kinda hokey, I know). I used some sort of tray, I forget what, it may have been an old metal ice tray from a fridge, I forget. But I used an old tray that bolted to the back of the dash where the speaker went that held the stereo. You pulled on the ash tray handle for it to open, ran this for years, it worked well for me. But I really dig your drop down, makes more sense and I have a daily driver where that may just work (not an AD) and will take a look at that today.
