make sure to put some sort of seam sealer on all those weld seams, -both sides, otherwise the moisture will creep in and start re-rusting it.

Cool project BTW.....

The stereo goes all the way in.....we were in the process of wiring it at the time.

We also used security screw that takes a special tool to remove it to deter the thiefs.

Well.....apparently.....I didnt measure very well.

Hopefully, I can just flip the plate upside down and the stereo will fit.
