Nice. I wanted mine down low, but the shifter was in the way, so had to go up top.

Looks good, i would hide some wires though. Try tapping into the back of one of the 12V with a 12V extension that has 3 plugs and then plug them all in under the dash.

Yeah, I do want to hide a bit. Already cut the inverter and CB inputs into the twisted pair runnin' the mess. Not sure how I want to handle the GPS yet. Maybe build a sheetmetal box to put over the CB and set in the tuner next to the GPS. Inverter I don't really need. Just had layin' around.

Hardwire kit for the Escort is on order, but I still always have to take that down and unsnap the mike holder when I put in a sunshade.
