I also would buy one if you ever think of selling it. I do not have access to a break and have done very little metal work.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but for a while Sony head-units had an optional "wired" remote that was basically a little pod-like stem. Using one like that would do away with the need for the open glovebox door.
That is some kind of awesome!!

EDIT: Here is the remote I was talking about:

Hey you might want to check out http://www.customautosound.com and click on Hidden audio....they sell a setup that comes with radio frequency remote that works anywhere....remote will work 40ft. from your vehicle and you can hide everything wherever you want....the only downer is no cd player that would have to be figured in seperate.....Paul

I figure the CD Player being additional as a plus. You can add it later or ask for it as a present from your loved ones. The RF Remote is killer and I believe you can get it for less with an IR Remote. This is a perfect stereo/cd player for a truck without the inside gas tank so it could be mounted behind the seat with the head (attached by a 12 foot cord) mounted behind your dash or in the glovebox. The RF remote would have no problem with this setup.

nice dude if u deside to make them let us know i'll think about getting one i really don't want to cut the dash lol

86swb 09-29-2005 11:07 AM

He is going to make them. He just has to figure his cost, what he needs to charge for his time and labor. These will be coming but just may be a little while so better get your name in line. First come first served. That is the fair was of doing this. He is only making them for board members. I talked to him and he will be getting back with price later. But as I said, "He will be making these". Do you all think $60.00 plus the ride to be a fair price? I do. What do you guys think? You cut your own hole and paint. He does everthing else. His cost for just the parts is $20.00.

Also in line for one. :metal:

53BURB, send kelsfine69 a PM and ask him. He might have to make some changes. He is sending me the first one he makes and I will let everone know what I think of the quality. But I already know I will love it. I now have a stock OE am/fm restored radio in Burb now and this will also give me the old and the new. Do not want to tear up my dash. This way here you can have both. I love the idea.

llegos 09-29-2005 08:46 PM

that is CLEAN!!! you wanna build me a setup like that?lol

Well..... I can officially say it is done. Thanks for all the feedback and here is the final pic. :metal:

86swb 09-30-2005 12:12 AM

86swb 09-30-2005 10:29 AM

Money order is in the mail for mine. PM me when you ship.

Excellent craftmanship. I am interested in one for an A/C truck. Is there anyone in your area that has an A/C truck that you can design one for? Now that you said there would be not much golvebox area for an A/C truck, here is another idea, 'underseat storage' or a 'console with a storage area'. I am up for any of these since I don't necessarily use the center of the bench seat for a third person.

You can add me to your list of members that want the hidden stereo glovebox conversion.

That's sweet, will need some extra work to get a glovebox light in there though. Could almost redo it with an extra shelf above the DIN opening so you can keep the stock glovebox light and have more room in there. Of course then it would take even more time and material to make...

smbrouss70 10-01-2005 03:51 AM

looks nice!

86swb 10-01-2005 07:22 PM

If you would like to keep your OE radio and want cd and more,and todays sound then this is the way to go. Do not cut that dash.

Me too!
 
I would also take one, but would have to modify for the Vintage Air install. But that is real cool. Maybe you could offer it in a two part mod, with a shorter box area for AC trucks. Or just offer templates to board members. Hat's off to you!

kelsfine69, Here are the photos of my Vintage Air glovebox. I tried to PM them to you but I guess it didn't work.
