Old meets New - well sorta! MP3 player meets Rambler!

Well the old Rambler's AM radio just wasn't cuttin' the mustard!
Last year I stuck a MP3 player (yes I'm cheap no IPod's here) to some velcro on the ash tray - that fixed my immediate problem but pretty much looked like ....well you know.
So what's a cheap bastage to do???
I took 2 ash trays and welded them together (back to back) this allowed the ash tray to slide out MUCH farther than original. Now I stuck a spring loaded hinge in there and I'm cooking with gas!
Now it's easy to "hide" and keeps the dash looking OEM!
Here's a link - but I gotta warn you - I'm not much of a narrator :-0
