I got a unusual radio instalation kit for a 55 coming that I got off ebay and I got it for the starting bid,it mounts the radio where the speaker is and uses the radio hole for the speaker.  The pics did not show the whole kit but I hope I can modify it to accept a modern radio that I have now mounted under the seat,it was made my Motorola to put a Motorola radio of some kind in it.  I was going to bid on the face plate for a Motorola radio made to fit in the dash to get the chrome bezel as I have a marine remote mounted in a factory radio delete plate and its painted as close as I could get to the dash and I want chrome,if the kit wont work the kit came with a chrome bezel for where the radio goes and can use it to keep the marine remote but I hope I can use it to mount the modern radio.  The marine remote wont show all the functions of the radio or I cant set the stations with it too so I hope I can use this thing to get the radio on the dash without cutting it up.

Butchering up everything I can get my hands on in Dayton Ohio
