Default '65 Mustang - Stereo Install Ideas

Looking for pics and ideas for modern single DIN radio install.
I'm not interested in Classic Autosound or Retrosound.
Don't wanna cut up the stock dash radio opening.
My car is not stock, would consider visible install under the dash, side of the transmission tunnel, under the seat, whatever. I plan on buying a single DIN, non CD receiver and using a universal install mount. I'm gonna have a remote so I need the unit visible, don't wanna futz with a IR repeater.
Thanks in advance.

Pepboys sells something like this: http://www.autotoys.com/x/product.php?productid=7788 Its a underdash mounting kit. I belive I've seen somewhere on this site where somebody used it and made it look really good.

I'm not a fan of glove box installs or cutting the dash.

Has any one thought of inverting the typical universal under dash mount enclosure and mounting it on the transmission tunnel under the dash, under and forward of the ash tray?

Just cut the dash its a lot easier to use the radio and see it.

I made a custom box that sits under my dash for my car. It was pretty simple to do and was one way to avoid cutting the dash although I did install a custom aluminum cover to make for a cleaner restomod look. However it is easily removable if desired.
