Got time today to do some work... I'm putting a CB, DVD player (not the drive shown in the pictures), and all the factory switches in my glove compartment. Along with whatever else I figure out to put in there. It will have a flat fiberglass face on it - as in only the actual buttons, the drive and the CB will be visible, nothing else about them. I'm going to put a switch to turn on the CB closer to the driver's seat, and run wires behind the dash so that the microphone will be closer to me.

I had to cut out a supporting bar behind the hinge so that there would be room for the wires. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I think I'm going to have to cut off the side of the drawer to move the dvd/cb over about 3/4" an inch so that I can put the latch for it back up.
 






Looks excellent, what's going in the dashboard to replace all that stuff??
