I'd be interested in one of these /\

If you make it in 2 pieces like the others and assemble it after its through the dash hole it might work.

Looks like excellent workmanship in the others!

On a side note to the remote for the head unit.
In my 93 I have a Blaupunkt deck with what they call a "thummer" remote. It's an IR remote that attaches to the steering wheel and the sensor "eye" attaches to the dash with double sided tape. The "eye" has a cord, (maybe 2-3 feet), that plugs into the back of the deck.
It's an older deck but they might make newer versions that still use the "thummer".
I've just about forgot what the buttons on the deck itself do! LOL

Useless trivia;
The dash in my 72 is cut. I cut it myself. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat!
I cut the dash, jerked the ashtray out, (disgusting habit anyway), and then made an aluminum plate that cover the ashtray hole and the butt ugly indented in part of the dash where the factory radio mounts. Bolted the aluminum plate to the dash with button head allen bolts.
CDplayer? Bahahahahaha! 72 3/4 ton 4x4 Not a chance in hell it won't skip.
