Default Din Bezels

I have a 67 coupe, and I understand that a modern Din radio will not fit into a 67 Bezel. I have seen pics of people hogging out the bezel in order to fit in the Din stereo Here's a pic if you dont believe me . although I do not have the tools to do so. Does anyone know where i can buy one or who could make one?

I have one of them but it's plastic. I would call to make sure what the bezel is made from before you buy it. I'm not a fan of the look and feel of the plastic bezels.

Ya i have bought one of those, and had returned it after I found out it was cheap Plastic. Im asking for a metal alternative that can be used just like the original.

Come on guys, dont buy one, make one. They are really simple. Just take the metal sleeve that the radio slides into, make a small cut in the old bezel and make sure you have it right, then get a little electric up and down saw and go at it. Me and my friend made mine in 5 mins. total, and you couldnt tell that the old housing wasnt supposed to fit in a new cd player.

I used a 4" angle grinder with a cut off wheel, a pair of pliers, and a die grinder to finish it off. BTW you have to enlarge to upper and lower opening of the original. I used the same 4" angle grinder and a sanding wheel.
