John, Thanks for the nice words. Unfortunatly your observations are too good.
I have been kind of worried about the radio side/rear being a little to obvious
also, I guess I`ll just have to live with it like that as I don`t have a solution.
Maybe I`ll just say I did it that way on purpose. The radio is only about 5 to 6 "
deep so it should not look to bad. Thanks again

Gusso,

WOW, that looks like it grew there from the factory. I really like it!!

Maybe you could get some black acryllic, or even sheet metal painted black to cover that edge of the radio. I bet it would just sort of fade away

Nicely done. Great color on your truck
Bobby

Awesome! I am trying to talk my dad into making one for my 56. I have some autometer gauges (in pods), but they may be too big. I need to bring them over to dads (where my truck is currently) and see.

Keep up the good work. You are teaching us a few things.
