wow...looks good. Reminds me that I still never posted pics of mine done.

 

Finally got it done....Heres the pics of the completed OHC with the radio installed.

 

Thats nice. Itz very tractor trailer like. That screen on the bottom for the speaker is very very clean looking. Check out mine....https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ad.php?t=11751

 

Man thats pretty awesome, I like it alot.

 

Awesome!

 

I REALLY like what you did!!!

What color did you paint it with? Did you use the VHT plastic paint that matches Ford colors? I used that to paint my a-pillar gauge cluster bezel and it's fantastic stuff.

 

do you find the mic's wire annoying hanging there?

 

TY John. No, I couldn't find the VHT paint and Krylons smoke gray was way to light so I had to use Rust-Oleum Charcoal Gray, which I think is still too light, but its all I had to work with. In fact all the parts were just stuff I had laying around the house less the construction paper I used to skin it.

If I had to do it over there would be a few changes in the brackets (Used Hack Saw Blades lol). But over all, I'm satisfied with the outcome.

I may try covering it with some OEM Fabric from a used headliner down the road.

 

Na, when I'm not using the radio I'll pull the mic and stow it in the glove box.

 

Great job on that OHC I think it'd look sweet if you carpet it.

 

TY Winks. I was thinking of some OEM Fabric from a used headliner. I have access to a wrecked 2000 with the same material and color. That should blend it right in.

 

I mounted my CB on a bracket which leaves a gap over it and I tuck the wire in there when not in use. Otherwise it whacks me in the head, lol.

That would look nice covered in headliner fabric. I bought the VHT on ebay as no one locally carried it. Funny story though: within an hour after I bought it the vendor was banned from ebay!!! I have no idea why. I emailed him and he assured me I was going to get my order and I did -- but it was pretty wierd to look at my "won" summary and see "no longer a member" on that latest entry under his user name. Strange thing is he had lots of sales and good feedback.

 

I haven't taken off road yet, but I imagine it's gonna swing a bit. Could add a rubber band to the cord if it becomes obnoxious...lol

Yeah that would have made my heart pound a bit to see the seller banned right after placing an order.

 

Maybe he got caught using more than 1 user name to bump up bids on his items. I can imagine that this is becoming a problem. At least he came through for you.

 

Yeah, and his price for the paint was the cheapest by a little bit. I don't know. Maybe he wasn't an authorized dealer or something. Sometimes people are up to something that doesn't confront their customers with any problems and they buyers like it -- but it's some kind of murky legal thing. Who knows? I didn't ask and he didn't offer to tell me. I got my stuff, and the police didn't contact me -- so it's none of my business, lol.
