Hey everyone thank you for the kind words! Life has been super busy with work and the kids. I called up my radio guy and said I need the radio by the end of June. At first I said "no rush" but I think that may have put me at the back of the line so I called in yesterday and he assured me he can meet my deadline.
In other news, I am slowly collecting NOS/assembly line parts just in case I do ever get the opportunity to restore the car. Acquiring the original engine would fast track this however there has not been much progress in that regard. Anyway Darrell @Cook_DW supplied me with this gas hose which will go with said parts next to my assembly line correct dated gas tank and and other parts waiting to be installed. Really happy with these! They are coded 03247 (03/24/67) which is perfect for my car.

Radio finally installed! It took some work but I'm very happy! I'm using a 2 channel 140watt 4ohm under dash speaker. Watch until the end to see the 8 track play.
