I have looked in to doing a box Lincoln like yours, there is just no room to add a dbl din, sorryWe all make mistakes.......... That’s why paste is edible!Comment

yeah I know, but it would be nice to have a single din in there with the trim plate around it. The current setup doesn't allow that.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

basically it just needs to have the hole opened up a bit, like 1/16" or something. Its got a bevel inward that would have seated against the flat face of the stock radio. Probably if it was opened to about that silver painted mark, or maybe not quite so far it would be ideal. I can actually just go get one of these panels from the junkyard and have at it with the die grinder. Probably won't be too hard, but keeping it straight and even is going to be the challenge.
In all honesty, I just wish the stock radio didn't blow horribly or I'd be using it. They look nicer visually, but as far as function, forget it. The 88+ radio is much better, but the 86 premium radio is a piece of junk. If I could wire in a later stock radio and have aux inputs for an ipod and xm, I'd be all over that. I'm actually considering replacing that stereo, I want a better mp3 player to replace my 10 year old dinosaur. Prob get something with an ipod interface, and I'd like to keep the aux input for my xm.Last edited by gadget73; 01-10-2008, 01:19 AM.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I have cut many of those. best bet put about 3-4 layers of 2" wide masking tape as a guide and to protect the good part of the dash. using the radio cage, place the cage on the dash and use the tape to trace the cage. take a jig saw with the highest TPI count you can find and cut out the hole for the radio. take your time! It will come out better. a dremmel works, but there is a better chance for f-ups. also to help the jig saw blade spray WD40 once and awhile on it to help it move better. after cutting use the cage and mount the radio to the dash plate.We all make mistakes..........
