    Nice!!! I just put a cd player in that spot also. No cutting involved and used the factory radio bracket. I also put 2 4x4 speakers in the center speaker of the dash, (had to cut some metal to do that)

    steamer is the way to go, use the search function, theres a few threads on it.

    looking outstanding so far, keep up the good work.

    So bright I need to wear :bigshades:
    Did you just buff with the wheel or did you use some polishing paste of some sort?

    I found a polish at Lowes home improvement.....that I used on the buffing wheel.  Also Mothers aluminum polish helped on mine too.  Good job.  Just had to be careful that the wheel didn't grab the part........

    Is RPM a concern?

    yep...higher rpm will get your parts deeper into the wall...  :grinyes:

    I pretty often polish stainless at work and always use highest rpm available. You will have to keep an eye on the temperature of your parts. They get hot and might warp.
