| I'd like to see it. My Big M cost me $200 to fix but why? It's still 6v, AM and truly useless. |

here are some pics, from the front it will look completly stock.
face plate is out being rechromed and i have some repro knobs i bought from brezelworks to go on it when i install it.
pic one the stock radio from the front
the next is the harness coming out the back,once hooked up i will hide the coloured wires with some black sheathing or something to make it look better
the circuit board had to be mounted so they made a little plate on the side of it
then the aux hook up for my ipod (this won't charge an ipod just allows you to play music through it)
i had it brought out the side as it will be in my glove box
for those that have pm'd me this is the company that did it
http://woodradios.com/fm_conversions.htm
it took about 5 weeks to get back and they are local to me.
keep in mind the guy actually doing the conversion is about 85 years old and has not been in the best health lately
anyways i am excited to have my radio play am/fm and my ipod
