Made Some Custom Kickpanels This Weekend
 

My '75 crew cab was in serious need of an audio system and a single center speaker was just not going to cut it so I installed a new head unit from Retro Sound and made myself a set of kick panels to house some Image Dynamics 6.5" components.

Kick panels were made with with MDF and fiberglass. I have yet to find a paint that matches the interior but I think they came out OK. As soon as I find a color to match, I'll repaint them along with the grills. The 6.5" grill is currently off because I did not have long enough screws.

Next step is a sub, rear speakers and an amplifier or two.

Looks good to me! Nice job. Go to local auto paint store and have them match it up with a color gun. They will walk out to the truck and zap it and it spits out the color number.:chevy:

I will be doing the same. I have the rings cut out for mine and I am trying to dry fit but I am running into an issue with the e-brake. I can't find the right angle to use where the e-brake pedal clears the kick panel. Although I have an automatic and doubt I will ever need to use it, I want to know it's there if I need it. What did you do to solve this?

If the ebrake is not adjusted tight enough it will hit the kick panel, you just have to be conscious of it. Not a perfect solution but modifying the pedal did not look fun.
