I know there's a dash repair kit, but I don't now if a clean repair weld can be "that" clean. Thanks.

OK. Just for giggles... I see you said "RetroSound" radio, and later "Custom Audio"... So not sure what radio you are wanting to use.
I did purchase, from a vendor on this site, the RetroSound radio. I won't say that I love it, but I do like it. I like it because it stays true to the look of the period. And, it has most all modern features. I wanted the look to stay close to stock, so that's why I went with it. Since then, I've found that an original radio can be converted to RCA outputs and add bluetooth to them, so I should have gone that way. However, the RetroSound works as advertised, and provides a decent signal to the amplifier. It also is less expensive than having an original upgraded, unless you can do that yourself (I can't).
There is an audio section on this site with a lot of good information.
Good Luck!!
