Anyone take out their radio and not put another back in? What did you use to fill the void? I have a few ideas, but would like to hear what has been done. Any pics would be great.

 

I haven't done this (I can't live without my new CD player on my daily driver), but if I ever bought another third gen to make into a hardcore racer, I'd delete the radio and put a switch panel in there. A row of toggle switches to control the fuel pump(s), auxillary fans, nitrous, etc. would look killer!

 

black poster board. sorry no pics

 

How about a delete plate?

 

ooo fancy

 

Real stupid question Why would you want to take the radio out?

 

I never use it, ever. Might as well save the weight of the radio and speakers. The car is not my daily driver.

 

Any part # on the radio delete plate ?

 

they have them at www.classicindustries.com

 

I have found that the radio space makes a good spot for mounting gauges.

 

I can NOT find that radio delete plate on classic indistries.com. Can someone point me to it or give me a part number maybe???

 

yea my freind has an 84 camaro and hes taken his radio out and is about to put gauges there. He said if he ever put the radio back in hed just mount it somewhere else...

 

classic industries part #

G1149 $6.13

 

OK, this is getting really frustrating. I put the part # in on their order form and it comes up as not being found.. I search their entire website and it comes up with nothing with that part #. what gives?

 

I vaguely remember someone's post saying that Classic didnt sell that piece anymore. Your best bet is to call them and find out.

 

I got that part # out of last years catolog. They might not sell it anymore.

 

better idea......buy a piece of abs plastic and cut your own out, it shouldn't be too hard to do

 

How can you not listen to music while driving??
its like a must

 

thatd be cool i think to put some gauges on there,maybe you could make your own delete plate with an iroc or camaro or chevy logo or something on it.

 

Well, i usually don't listen to the radio when I drive the Camaro, but that is mostly because it is a cheap POS radio and cheap POS speakers, and I can't hear it over the sound of the exhaust.

 

Yeah, good cam and exhaust and I wouldn't need my radio either! Hey VampireHunterC, don't you have dual glasspacks? ...Right, I can see that overpowering the radio just a little bit! Plus if it's not a daily driver, then when you occasionally drive the car, you'll just want to revel in the sound it makes rather than turn on the radio as you would in your everyday car that your so used to the sound of...

 

Yup. Hedmen hedders and dual glasspacks. AND, I have to ride with the windows down 'cause I am still trying to get rid of the exhaust leak. Typical header problem. So, when I plant my right foot, all I can hear is road noise and exhaust.

 

If you buy or make a simple block-off plate, you might consider decorating it with a Camaro, Chevy, or bow-tie emblem from a junkyard car or GM dealer.
