wally, where did you get yours again?

Seems odd that tv-in-motion would be selling what looks like the hualingan, but they have a different, super version...
(not questioning your purchase romeo, obviously your waiting for a great product, I just would be even more confused about these units if they look the same but now made by different companies)
Am I completely way off on this and am behind a little bit on this thread, or

Thanks for this wally! We did it almost the same way. I tried getting it further down. Yes I agree it was the hardest part of the install. Had to shave a lot of plastic with the dremmel!. Cheer!

I ended up moving the bracket up a 1/8 of an inch so that the unit seats all the way in at the bottom. I will get another pic. But now it fits just perfect. I am very impressed with how it looks and feels.

Ok Guys I am finished. Almost.... I got my blower motor replaced and needless to say what a job. I still have some tweaking to my Hualingan unit but the placement is excellent. Here's some more pics

Now that's what I'm talkin about! I like the HL deeper in that hole. You got it Wallly. Niceee!

Great picture of the naked dashboard. Geeez! Will you be able to put things back together?!?!

I am able to derive much knowledge from this. I hope you can post some more 'naked dashboard' pix (in different angles) so that we know where to run cables and stuffs. Very useful for mods involving running stuffs under the dash and all. Thanks!

Hey fullmetaljacket, this looks so much better than the Dynavin, right? LOL!

At first it didn't want to sit all the way back in the molding. I kept moving and what i found was the wires in the back I think were holding it up from dropping into place. So what I did was remove the heating cluster directly underneath the radio spot and from there I was able to get my hands under neath to move things around and slide it all the way in.

And the pictures you see are after I put everything back together. Its not that difficult to remove everything it's just slow. But I have Heat & Air conditioning. Yeah!
