I've been busy working on my odometer modification. According to NADA's website, the average annual mileage is 15k per year. So the math says that my van should have 360k on it by now. I'm just doing what I can..

With all of this talk about cb's of late, here's where I am. I like overhead cb's.... it's a old truck driver thing. I like lots of marker lights, but let's stay on subject.

I've had this under dash stereo mount for a long time. If you pay attention, it's set up to accept a dual shaft stereo.

So.. I want to flip it over & mount my CB in it. It sounds easy enough except there is very little room between the radio mount and the skin of the roof.

I don't want a full width overhead console.

So the question is how can I create a base for this. Thin enough to keep the contour of the metal roof, yet thick enough to be able to attach the overhead console..

Your current grille is the direction I wanna go. Not thrilled with the 92 single headlight grille I have. Love the quad headlight concept, always have since I saw a van with Monte Carlo quad lights in the mid 70's. I figure 80's stock like yours, black out the grille with the center bar left chrome that matches the lines between the lights. Later down the road when the budget allows, get a tube grille for the center section. Heavy 389 has the right idea by the way. Headliner board can be the place to mount your CB box. Have seen it done and works out pretty well.

For the love of God dont say that... He has already proved that he can make lots of stuff from hand made molds and resin.

Do we need to turn him into a monster?
