Everything works great with it except that the velcro used to hold it when i close it got hot and the glue came off the back, ill have to fix that soon i may just use some gorilla glue. What i really wanna do is make it motorized so it opens and closes on its own but i dont have a clue how to do it. Heres some pics.

Btw that dash is the original fiberglassed and bondo over to fix the cracks and holes. I couldnt afford a new one so tried to fix it that way, so far its holding up good i just wish i could get some nice covers for the speaker holes, i cant find 5 1/4 covers though.
Great idea, my truck just got a new sterio, might have to steel that idea. Well done.
