After using a Cobra 75WXST for a little over a year I got the urge to move up to something with more bells and whistles. I found a Cobra NightWatch 29 WX NW ST on Ebay for a decent price.

I wasn’t too fond of the idea of mounting it on the console, under the passenger side dash, or onto the overhead console. I really had only one option…in-dash.

The first step was to use a Dremel to remove the areas indicated by the yellow arrows.

Not perfect, definitely room for improvement, but the CB is now an indash unit and not taking up valuable leg room.
 
Very nice, I looked into do this originally when I got my CB, but I took the easy route. Looks good, do you have an external speaker?
 
I figured. The internal speaker will just get drown out in there. I'd like to see the speaker mounted after you get it done.
 
Loved the write up on the fenders, seems you make a habit out of this high quality shite! Good work.
 
Thanks for posting this Frank!
