'66 Mustang Radio Purchased

As close as the car is to being "complete" I still have a few things to accomplish. One of those things to do is to install a radio to fill the gaping hole in the dash. I don't have any speakers installed in the car, but I want to have the radio there to make the car look complete. Maybe one day I'll install a higher tech radio that will allow me to hook up my phone to play music or even play music via bluetooh from my phone. Until that time, I really don't care if I have music in my car that plays from a radio in the dash. 

I ordered a batch of three radios from Ebay for about $50 including shipping. I used parts from a couple of them in order to make one complete radio. I polished the chrome and plastic window so that it looks nice and clean. I'll check the light before I install it to make sure that it will come on when the headlights are on, but this is as much as I'm going to do to it before installing it.

I'm guessing that I'll have the time to install it sometime next month since the rest of my month is booked up with my birthday, a camping trip with friends and then summer camp with Sandals Church as a counselor. The weekend after that I'll be "on call" with work. At least I have a radio to put in the car now!

Come to find out, an AM Mustang radio that has a dial starting with "6" is for a 1965 Mustang and a radio that has a dial starting with "5" is for a 1966 Mustang. The radio will still fit in the dash, but allegedly they are slightly different. They also take different mounting brackets. I've read that one radio is 6" deep and the other is 8" deep. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case you were interested.

Exterior Pics with Springs Re-Cut

Although I haven't done any work to the Mustang since my post yesterday, I did have the opportunity to take a few pictures of the car since the work I did yesterday which included: installing the Rosehill Performance adjustable strut rods, and cutting another 5.25" off of a coil spring. I don't really have many pictures of the car posted since it was pretty much completed a few months ago since I was waiting for a co-worker to do a complete photo shoot with the car Things have been getting delayed.The below pictures were taken with my Droid Razr Maxx so they aren't the highest quality photos ever, but they are still a crisp 8mp in 1080p!
