Hacking up dashes

There is always another way or place to put it. I have put several systems in the trunk controlled by a remote. I am not a big fan of the glove box, I would rather do under the dash. You can buy kits that make it look nice and clean, and easy to reach.
My last install was in a 65 Coronet 500. I racked my brain trying to find a spot for it because I wanted it completely hidden.
Then it dawned on me, if I raise the rear of the console about a 1/2 inch it will tuck under nicely and I can change setting by hand or by remote.
