Still unpacking dash stuff from the boxes they have been hiding in the last 10 years. I have the original radio out, it says Studebaker Stratoline. No idea it if works. Glasss is missing. The cord is broke so the dial wont turn the stations. Chrome is fair to poor.
Plus, I have modified the firewall for engine clearance and this big old radio will not fit back in anyway. But it does have style. I figure I will rip it apart and just refresh and install the faceplate back in the dash. It should look like the original radio is there, even if it doesn't work.
So, is it a crime to trash one of these old radios? How bad should I feel about this plan?
