You did a great job. I wish I could find a place to move my climate controls in my '79 GP so that I could run a double din!

That looks really nice. The radio is out of mine right now and I was considering doing what you did, or go old school and put in a radio and a CB below it. I'm still undecided, but yours looks really nice!

No metal cutting really just trimming of vinyl edges. But here's the deal after doing this setup I hated it. It was such a long reach to get to the radio for usage. Now a lot of that could because the unit I have relies mostly on the touch screen for usage even though it does have a remote. But one of the joys of having a touch screen double din is using it. I'm building something different for my new car I think I will like much better. I'll post pics next week
