Greetings,
When I acquired my Bugeye the previous owner included an assemblage of parts -- some new, some not so new, and many more exceedingly antiquated, in the purchase. One particular part was a radio blank which had no real purpose given that he had installed a sound system in the car. I definitely would not define myself as an audiophile and actually much prefer to listen to the sound of the car. As such, I removed the sound system which naturally meant that I now had a rather large hole in my dash. True, I could readily re-cover the dash so as to eliminate the hole but the vinyl is actually in very good condition. Accordingly, I decided to recondition the radio blank (see pic).
My question to the more erudite and sage members of this forum: Were radio blanks particularly prevalent? I suspect not given that I have not seen too many of them but I could be mistaken.
