Thanks dj! didnt even think of that.... I knew we kept you around for a reason.
I did test the radio and it powers up fine the bulbs are blown so Im going to be replacing them with leds
,my friend has all the bulbs already and likes to do that kinda stuff.
On a different note I am working on a metal stereo pannel to fit an aftermarket radio and 3 gauges or in my case one gauge and a turbo timer. I already have a protype mocked up just gotta make a real one. I will post pics of the cardboard mock up for a few laughs later.
