I want to put a cd player in my 71 and not sure how I should doit. I pulled the old tape player last night and was looking at how I should install CD player and looks like the hole in the dash is bigger then cd player I have laying around. SO what is everyone doing is there a filler panel that looks good? My last swb had the cd player in the glove box and looked really clean not being seen. But this is just a driver and would like it on the dash just so its easier to get to.

Pics would be great!!!!
Thanks!!!!

Has the dash been cut for a CD player? I assume yes. It oughta just slip in, but if the PO has cut the whole too big you'lll have to make a pannel to hide the too big of hole, or get a dash patch..

No the dash has not been cut yet. Just the round holes for the knobs are wider the the cd player and look like the will be seen.
