Default Radio retrofit

thought sprang into my head today

would a Shaker 500 from an S197 fit into the dash of an '87-93 fox? I know some fab work would be needed, but I wonder if done right it can look sorta factory.

reason I am thinking this is because the Shaker has a sensor that adjust the volume of the radio depending on how loud the motor is. prolly would need to retrofit all the speakers, factory amp, wiring etc.....

but I wonder if it could be done....

(I know with enough money anything can be done)
