<VV> EM/Universal Radio Housing

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

Steve,
I do not see the point of a replacement housing, unless you want a second 
one 
bolted below the stock, to retain the looks.  I have seen several of 
these and they look fine.  If you are trying to install 
just a modern radio, the existing housings can be cut to take a DIN mount 
quite easily.  They are common enough to not worry about depleting the 
supply.  For both my 63's I have the stock 
radio, in its original housing, on the shelf, ready to bolt in if I ever 
want the stock look.  And both cars have a cut for DIN mount housing in 
place. 
Each has a CD player, and a pair of Lon's speaker mounts.  The Coupe has 
modern 4X10's mounted in two stock rear speaker housings, for a somewhat 
stock look in the back, with very good sound, and no cutting involved 
anywhere to the body.
