CB Radio Dash Conversion

[STEALTH]

so i had my cb mounted it the space where the tape player used to be, it fit sung but there were gaps on the sides, so this is how me and my main man lents solved this problem

so first heres a befor pic



after we took it out we cut the flap handel off and sanded it smooth



this is how the car looks with out the peice



next we cut the inside lip off just on the space behind where the gaps were



next comes bondo!!!



then fiberglass (woh hooo)



then more bondo!!!



next comes sanding primer and paint









then in she goes!! (the whole process took about 6 hours with lots of light sanding to ensure a tight fit)

NIce! Never used bondo, if I just fill a hole that big with it, is it good to go?

no, you need to have somethin for the bondo to set on like the fiberglass i used

Gotcha, dont know how to do that stuff lol. Would a piece of plastic hot glued/superglued to the back work? or you think it would fall off. Sorry for gettin your thread off topic, you did a sweet job though
