I wanted to know how did you got to mount the screen, is it on top or you cut some of the center dash plastic, cus I notice there is metal behind the plastic[above the foglight, rear def, etc. buttons ]. how are you holding the screen?
My original plans are to replace the AC with my Sony receiver and relocate it somewhere else.
thanks.
Hi, I feel honored that your first post was on my project thread
. I actually mounted it from the back. I took apart the screen and used the front part for mounting. The top part of the screen is flush with the bottom part of the A/C controls section and I cut a little on the bottom of the bezel. The screen is held pretty securely with the bondo and fiberglass. My next project is to get a dvd/cd rom mounted under the screen, right above the fog light, etc buttons. I dont know if ford changed it but in my car what is behind the buttons is plastic so I just took my dremel to it and cut it off. There is a metal piece that goes from front to back that is the support for the head unit but that was just screwed to the back. If you take a look at my worklog you might get a better idea of how the screen was mounted. If you have any questions just let me know.
Rock on and let's get some more mustangs in here!!
