Years ago a friend of mine cut a hole for his radio, in his 1956 Ford Truck, with a chisel and a hammer.
Maybe the same guy?

To be honest, I rebuilt the door hinges and I'm Still Not real happy with that door stop Hook. I might mod it using those holes (both doors have them).....

Actually I think The Torch originally went in there to mess with mirrors.

Thats too bad, but fixable. On the plus side: your inner door skin looks mint!!

Those photos show that I just don't get very far outside of the box with my thinking. Maybe I need to work on that more.
