Hey Knee Hey Nee, Will the JVC KW-AVX810 fit the trans am bezel. I talk to you on the phone last week about the Clarion dvd player and the mustang radio. If you could let me know that would be great.

All right guys, sorry for the delays on these, I just got back in town and I've been super sick the past few days.
I have sold off the 4 bezels I just made and I have 2 more Firebird ones in the works I am fabbing up as we speak (actually 3 but 1 is sold already to a member here with a new unit as well).
I will be getting in a few more bezels here soon.
As for the Camaro one I am still working on it and think I have found a piece I can use that is suitable. I cut the bezel this afternoon and the new piece looks like it is going to work nicely. No promises yet but I definetly want to fab this one up first before I do anything on them because I want it to be right. I also want to be able to duplicate it so I am taking mental notes on cuts and what not.
I will be doing a write up soon on how to make one for those who want to try it. I took some pictures of the last one I made from start to finish. I didn't realize all the steps I was going threw until I actually stopped to take pictures for each step. It of course doesn't show all the small stuff like cutting the plastic pieces and getting showered in hot melted plastic, the extensive sanding it takes to blend everything, etc.
After this month I won't be able to make many of these as I will be having surgery on my lower back December 3. I am trying to get as many of these done as I can so bare with me!!

I just got a bunch of stock Firebird bezels back in and I have found a reliable source for a bunch more.
I have a couple of Camaro one but have been having issues with trying to get the piece I use for the actual surround to seat the way I want it to. It's still trial and error on that one right now and the demand for the Firebird one is all I can handle right now as it is.
I am working on these and I think what I am going to have to do next week is just set up an assembly line type table in my shop and go to town on these. Every single one is handmade so it is time consuming to say the least.
I know I've been saying this for awhile now but hang in there I will have some more soon!
