Default Radio in a 1969

Ok so I realize the dash piece holding the radio is not metal, just a screw in plastic piece. However, I still don't want to cut into it. What are my options out there for installing a modern radio? I realize I could do the glove box, but I'm not big on that at all. Is there any stock looking reproduction heater and radio bezel pieces that fit the modern radio?

Well now that I'm posting this I found one on cjponyparts that is way cheaper than othe places I have seen. However it is still 110 bucks and kinda looks cheesy. Any better reproductions similar to this? --->

you can buy a new remake one for real cheap, buy that and cut it. I like how mine turned out.

good idea i just saw i can get a plain black one for 23 bucks. I guess I just don't like hacking up new or old parts so I was wondering if there were cheap ones already done haha. guess I could only hope [&:]

There pretty much the same price or more if you want pricey http://www.mustangsplus.com/xcart/pr...457&page=1 or get a normal one and cut it there 20 to 30 bucks.

try getting a modern classic style radio with the ***** and everything. They will fit right in where the existing deck was. They do fm, presets and everything a new pioneer or whatever brand you wantwill but the only problem is that you need to install a cd changer some where. Under the seat, in the glove box, ect. You can even hook up xm or sirius to them. It will keep your car looking classic but will be sick as hell once people know what it can do. Thats my plan.

well the only classic style radio's I have found were that of classic auto sound, and I've heard bad things about them. Well I ordered a standard camera case one for 23 bucks from cjponyparts, i'll just hack up that repro.

thanks guys!
