Are you tired of looking at that rally cluster butchered up radio hole that someone stuck aftermarket cassette player in back in the '80s well here's your fix my friend instead of having to buy one of the flimsy cheap reproduction ones from Classic Industries keep your old OEM one because they're a lot more sturdy..take a glove box trim panel chop it to size and graft in radio delete or if you have a broken bezel with good radio area graft that section in....simple bonding agent ABS acetone slurry....I use same old material from broken bezels...it's better than any 2 part epoxy and if you get it vacuum chrome plated it will stay in instead of coming out like epoxy does..you can find a glove box lid on eBay from 67-69 fish or 70-71 duster,dart,demon....the barracuda glove box lids with the trim go for about $35...$15 shipping....plane the top down a little and fuse it together...Revell has a chrome paint now that actually had a decent reflection...bout time!! Hope this might help a novice...simple and easy on the eyes...serious hackery solver with more hackers lmao...

A little more shaping and this bezel will be ready to be bonded and stripped

Wish I had a pic of my D.I.N. friendly rally panel. Still have probably 10 glovebox bezels and a pill bottle of Barracuda scripts from them. Gave away a few of those. 10 or so rally bezels, jukebox butchered or broken in various ways deserve mention. I found about 90 percent of owners have deep pockets and want same as another owner,,, beautiful reproduction bezel and a modified OEM radio. Cheers
 
I still have a shitload in the back room I'm eventually going to put the bezels on the gauges and probably sell half of them
