Radio Delete Plate
« on: September 22, 2013, 05:46:46 PM »
After the disappointment of the water pump, I decided to do something easy today.  Tired of the gaping hole in the dash where the radio goes, and unable (at the momet) to afford a sound system to fill it, I  used some heavy black card stock and a silver paint pen to make a 'radio delete' plate.  Have no idea if this is even remotely close to the original, but it works!

Thanks for the compliment Jay...it was a surprisingly satisfying little project.

I'm thinking between an aluminum water pump, AM radio, front/rear speakers and wiring, prob 15 lbs!  (what's that....02 sec??)  ::)
