PDX Matt Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Put some finish on there, get a matching steering wheel and it would look awesome! Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Be aware that that stereo can get hot. I doubt you will burn the wood, but you could easily fry your stereo. If there is no plywood directly above the unit, where I can't see, then it will be fine. Oh, and good job making it happen. Thats called progress. Quote Link to comment
