I just got through cutting my metal bezel from my 73 with a saws-all
I was going to make a new face plate and then install the stereo
into that but I might not do that now.

"Bubba" had already started to hack up the gauge cluster in order to install a non-factory radio, so I figured I had nothing to lose. And, fitting that $9.99 plastic cover is a lot cheaper than purchasing the correct $249.00 pre-cut cluster.

I had time last night and cut mine. It took longer than anticipated, about 20 minutes. The cutoff wheel on the dremel was clogging up a little. If I hadn't cut my bezel 20 years ago and it was still original, I might have sprung for direct fit receiver. Speaking of radio's, my original factory stereo and the Alpine I had in it never picked up FM all that great. Sure I could pick up a couple of local stations, but the range was not all that good in comparison to other cars. Is this just my car or is this pretty typical of all vettes.
