Cheap redneck radio install
Got a new stereo for the 70, my dad's day gift. Gave alot of thought about mounting it without cutting the dash. This was very low buck, had all the parts laying around. That ammo can is bolted through the bottom of the dash and brace with a 1/2 inch bolt. The bolt had 2 part epoxy on the threads. The lid is locked with a padlock to the can. I used the packing styrofoam to hold the radio in place and absorb shock. Cut holes in the back of the can for the wires and antenna wire. Used an existing hole to bolt to the dash. The front speakers are some old surround sound ones I had laying around. I know it looks kinda goofy, but it will take a sawzall or torch to get it out if the lid is locked!!!
