Radio Delete for the DIY's

My version of a homemade radio delete plate, can be used for years 60-66 or 67-72. Hardware was purchased at local OSH, total cost came to under $20.00.

What you need:
1. A dash that has sadly been cutup at one point in it's life
2. One radio faceplate, I got mine here at Retro Sound - $15.99

3. Two 3/8 hex head course thread bolts, approximately 1 1/2 inch in length - $2.39
4. A few washers for the two bolts - $1.50
5. Two chrome push button nuts - $2.39


Dash was cut at some point in it's life
