CB for Fathers Day.

Got a replacement CB for Fathers Day. So guess how I spent my Fathers day? This is the seconded go around with the CB install. But this time the antenna and all the wiring are already there. Just had to make the connections to the CB . But this time there is a big hole in the dash where the radio and tray should be. So there's nothing to mount the CB to. I came up with the idea of making a face plate to hide the hole and wiring. Made it out of some aluminum diamond plate I had lying around. Made a template and than cut away. Made some clamps and screwed it to the back side of the trim, using existing holes.
There's how it turned out!


Here are some behind the plate pics.


Like all good projects one must bleed a little. Which gave me a chance to use the new Duct Tape band aids I just got.

Here's a shoot of the template I made.

You'd have to ask the guy who stole my rig. My runner was stolen about 2 months ago. It was missing a lot of stuff when I got it back 10 days later. The stereo is coming but not high on my list.
