60-63 retrosound radio fit and finish
I looking to get pictures of someone with a retrosound radio in the uncut original radio hole. I have searched all of this site and all over the web for a pic. I am wondering how close it fills the hole and how it looks. Im looking at the long beach model, but I would be happy with pics from any of the retrosound lineup.
Here is the one im looking at: https://www.retromanufacturing.com/p...nt=28587988931

Re: 60-63 retrosound radio fit and finish
I will have a Custom Autosound (CAS) 230 in a uncut dash. I set it in the dash tonight and took a few photo's for you. I think the Retro Sound radio's will look about the same. My CAS radio has a plastic bezel that goes behind the dash that the radio face fits through. I don't believe they are showing you that bezel in the photos. From the reviews I've read Retro Sound radio sound better. I listen to sports talk radio when I drive, so sound quality isn't that important in my case.

I believe your radio hole is bigger than what mine is.

Re: 60-63 retrosound radio fit and finish
If you're not completely attached to the Custom Autosound unit, and if you still have the original radio, you can have it converted to AM/FM stereo, and include Bluetooth, USB, and MP3/iPod connection capabilities for about the same price, or less. I had mine converted by Electro-Tech Services in Minnesota for AM/FM and MP3 player for under $300. Just another option so you don't have to cut up the radio opening.
He also provides bezel re-chrome and lens restoration services.

Re: 60-63 retrosound radio fit and finish
If i had an original radio or could find one cheap that is the route I would go. I havent made my mind up between the retrosound long beach and a rebuilt original.

Re: 60-63 retrosound radio fit and finish
The guys at Electro-Tech really only need the housing since they remove all of the internals for a PCB, so if you can find a used non-working one on an auction or classified site, that would work.
