    Car Stereo Mounting Ideas

    I don't know if you have a console or not (I don't), but I used a marine stereo box on mine. I fabbed some brackets for it and bolted it to the floor well up under the dash on the trans hump. Although not completely "factory" looking, it's pretty inconspicuous down there. As a bonus, when the...

    I have always loved the Darts as well! Also had a 318 Duster (Ruster) that I thrashed for years and just never could kill. Best $300 I ever spent! LOL! Good luck with it, sounds like a bitchen project either way!

    Never again.....basket case projects.

    I feel your pain, Catfish! I was helping my buddy out at his shop a little while back, and we were working on a '66 Mustang. Kind of a Shelby clone, pro touring type of buildup. Anyway, it was basically a ground up type deal, and the guy brought us the car as a empty shell with boxes and boxes...

    So sorry to hear of your loss. Hopefully some time with the family will help to ease the pain some.

    Goodbye to an Old Friend

    Whadaya mean Tallhair, I am STILL in my heyday! :icon_lol: Actually I do have some around here somewhere, but I will have to locate them and get them scanned in, as they are on film. Haha, remember that stuff? Ah, the days before the digital age! It might be worth it, though. Then you guys...

    Goodbye to an Old Friend

    Well, since I recently sold our lake lot (where it had been stored), and because my town hasn't granted permission yet for my pole barn garage (14 months and counting :BangHead:) I decided to let it go. It's an '87 Shelby Charger GLHS, and it was a faithful steed for years. We certainly broke a...

    Hey Guys, taking my car in to get a lot of work done on my 67 Sport Fury

    Sorry about all your travails lately. I have learned over the years that it comes with the territory working on these old cars. I just try to laugh it off (when I can), and consider it part of the pride of ownership. It's rarely easy, and that's why most folks just discard these old things...
