After a lot of work, I am happy to announce that the RestoModern Radio will soon be available for sale via my website at Unrestored-original.com. The RestoModern Radio is an unamplified bluetooth receiver that brings volume and playback control to the stock faceplate of classic ford broncos...

Been taking photos for the website. Really like this side by side comparison. Top setup is stock faceplate with stock knobs, stock glass. Bottom is stock faceplate with my replica knobs, reploca numbers plate and new glass.

Update on this! The first copy out of my shop has been jn the wild for a few weeks now and is performing excellently! For my part, I am still at work on the website for instructions, FAQs, and retail. I have also added replica numbers and indicator on the top of the unit, so it can be used with...

Right? I'd sure as hell take a trip to the post office for 150 bucks

I made a couple boxes that fit into the roadster inserts for speakers Amp and EQ are tucked in my Thunderbird Console Sub is under the passenger seat and is a powered compact unit. It definitely fills in the bass, but it's not a huge sound. Head unit is soon to be my new stock/bluetooth...

I made a couple. The black one was the first and is pretty complicated. It articulates to hide behind the dash when not in use, has a charging cable built in as well as NFC to launch maps/spotify etc when placed on the holder, and a rare earth magnet to keep the phone in place. I got the...

thats a really good look :)

Thanks, I took my time to make this nice and clean. I will be ready when you are!

Thanks! I run, and have been pleased with, the Kenwood KAC M-1814. Its 4 channels and likely overkill for single stock speaker. I have also had good success with the Alpine KTP445A in other builds, but it is also 4 channel and possibly overkill. A tiny single channel mono amp may be a kind of...

New video up of final design, with volume and playback controls

New video up showing the latest design featuring playback controls in addition to volume.

Thanks! It has been a LOT of MOSTLY enjoyable work :) I have fielded this question a few times, and have been zeroing in on a price as I have gotten more of these under my belt and finalized design, assembly and installation. When it is available, the bluetooth insert unit will be just...

I like it too! Which is why I am surprised I haven't seen more of them!

I don't drive my Bronco in the winter here in new England and I don't drive it in the rain (or at least I try). I generally run it roadster style with a bikini top and no doors. I am pretty happy with that setup, but I have been thinking of going over to the Bronco designs Hard Bikini Top. I...

Yes. Just to enlarge the hole on the right side. I really couldn't find any way around it. It takes two seconds and wouldn't prevent the plate from going back to stock if you wanted to rebuild the original radio.

Finalized my illumination design last night! Hoping to do an assembly and short video with a nice freshly chromed faceplate after work today!

This is pretty much exactly where I was, and what drove me to make this. I spent a lot of time restoring my dash and wanted it to really look the part, but really needed some modern stereo tech. My phone mounts in a custom holder above my windshield frame which was the most convenient I...

No need to pardon anything! This basically will take whatever audio is playing on your phone and relay it to an amp and speakers via your phones Bluetooth connection, so yes, very similar to a Bluetooth speaker. In addition this unit provides control for volume, pause/play, next track and...
