This is great! I finished the wiring harness and I am ON THE ROAD!! All electrical accessories work as they should and I didn't melt anything doing it ;D I put in the seatbelts (they were a must) and I have started driving it around the neighborhood......It runs, drives and stops better than I ever expected. But I have to confess, I think the anticipation might have been more fun than actually driving it.
Anyway, now I am moving into the interior and I need music. So, what have you guys done for a radio/CD? I don't think I want to put it in the dashboard. Has anyone put their radio in the trunk and used a remote?

Don't know if this will help any...just took a "shot in the dark" of my 34 Chevy coupe dash. Still set up as when I bought it, Canadian flag and all. Previous owner just welded a panel on the lower dash panel.

Jim,
Congrats on getting it on the road. I've been following your build on the HAMB and I've got to say you've come a long way. Nice work and I hope you enjoy your ride. It's great to see another old Chevy back on the road.
As far as a radio I haven't thought about it for my car yet. I have a friend that has an older car with an mp3 player hidden with a remote. He seems pretty happy with it. I did see a guy make a little extension under his dash in a 33 Chevy for a small radio and it didn't look out of place.

Thanks, guys, for the input. That's a nice job on your dash, Ed (I like the skull with the tophat).
Tom, I think something tucked away, like your friend, is what I want. I was playing around with an old radio today and I am already leaning towards inder the seat, or maybe under the dash, unless a remote will work from the trunk.. . . . . I'm confused :-\

Overhead maybe?

Here's a pic of a 33 (5) window coupe I spotted on the internet...
