Well yes i finally did get the stereo in and working. Not terribly thrilled with the look but it'll do till I get another idea on how to screw it up more.
Here is a shot of my fuse box. You can see the two piggyback pick ups I put on the fuse box for the electric hook up. What you maynot realize from this picture is that I have the wrong fuse in the wrong holder. White fuses are 8 amp, red fuses are 16. There should only be one white fuse inbetween the two reds. Not 2 like I have. This is the fuse box. Mine is upside down. You can see that the 3rd fuse from the right feeds the horn, radio and a bunch of other stuff


Mine (albiet upside down) has this fuse in the 4th position. So remmember folks- always check your manual and your fuse box. Don't let stupid happen to you!


After the wiring crap was done, I reinstalled the glove box. this shot is from underneath

and then this is the unit in the glove box


As I said I'm not totally thrilled and I have to clean up the area a little but it'll do for now. And heck, I can always keep the door closed.

Now I just have to figure out the speakers s#r s#r s#r

Looks great!
About those speakers..
Any space under the rear seat? Is there a panel like a beetle? How about a removable speaker box in the back with just a couple of plugs ? you could yank it out for shows and put it back for crusin around. Just some thoughts.  2CENTS

Yeah, I'm probably going the speaker box route. I've gotta check around and see whats offered.

John,
I found that box we spoke of. Looks something like this...



There are protective grilles on the speakers and no amp. Looks HUGE in the picture but those are only 10" speakers

So 12"x22" +-

Yours if you want it

Shawn, will I be able to use it with the 6X9 speakers that I have or will I need round speakers like those in the picture?

It's complete with (round) speakers. They should be OK. If not and you want to use 6x9's you can make a cover plate.
