Love the RetroSound. Nice fit and I think it keeps the 77 style while allowing me to update with today's tech. I put the speakers in the back and a couple more behind the kicker panels. It has enough sound that I can hear it with the t tops off and the flowmasters growling!

Hi Dr.R,
Your work looks VERY nice.
I'm a stock guy, but that radio does look GOOD in that dash.
Well Done!
Regards,
Alan

thanks! the car had some other mods so it was never going to be "all original". I just wanted to drive and enjoy the heck out of my dream car. Maybe one day I can do a nice restore on an older C3 with an all original look.
