CB in the ASHTRAY

[philzilla]

I thought i saw a thread for this before but i couldnt find it using the search, anyway.

I decided to mount my cb in my ash tray, here are some pics
drilled out the old rivets

Had to rise the crossbar so it would fit

after a rough file down of the front ash tray cover panel i decided to mock it up

My problem is the cb wont fit all the way into the slot because its hitting what i think is the air duct plastic piece, i am unsure weather i can cut into it or not, its an an 88 ranger

hey i have an 89 ranger and i just bought the same cb. where did you wire your power cord to? by the way thats a sick idea to put it in the ash tray slot
