I haven't but I really dig the look of your 65 post.

 

I think you got the ones for a 62 to 64? They make ones like your old kick panels and I bought a set and am in the process of installing them when the weather gets warmer

 

Thanks 4 years hard work hope to drive it this summer

 

I'm not to this point yet, but I was thinking of putting the speakers in the vent hole.
I was told with aftermarket a/c units, you don't need the vents.
I plan to have the cowl vents near the wiper arms closed off anyway.
I hope you get some answers here. I'll be watching this thread.
Good Luck with the rest of your build! It looks great.:yes:

 

Can you tell me what part number you got and do you have pics. I was on the phone with custom autosound tech support and am going to email pic tomorrow.

I thought about mounting in the vent hole also but I was worried about water getting on the speakers because that area is open to the cowl vent.

 

I'll take a pic of one and post it tomorrow. I have to modify mine to make the 65 66 67 style fit but I like the looks better

 

car looks great...

 

Thanks that would be great. I ordered these from classic industries by the catalog description. Their pics are'nt always what you get.

 

Here is one of them next to an origional 65 to 67 kick panel. I used my own speakers so I'll have to modify the metal on the car to make fit. You can see the difference between the ones you bought and mine. I think you need ones like mine for the correct fit. Hope this helps. By the way, I don't have a part number for you as I bought these quite a while ago off ebay.

 

The ones I have for the 62-64 have 4x6 speakers in them and don't sound that good.

 

Thanks for the pics exactly what I needed. Now who's gonna pay for the return shipping to classic industries because I ordered for the year of the car.

 

Those are the early model 62-64 kickpanels. I've been a dealer for Custom Autosound for years and have tried and tried to get them to change their parts listings. I drive a 65 hardtop every day, so I know what should go in them. Unfortunately some businesses don't have the same familiarity with the vehicles.

Sorry for their confusion, I know it can be a hassle dealing with shipping and returns to/from Canada.

Also a recommedation: Either order the kickpanels with the upgraded speakers which will be a 200w Pioneer, or order them w/o speakers and install your own. I think VooDooII was probably referring to the standard speakers which do not sound that good.

 

Ya I talked to tech support for 1/2 hour today, emailed him pics of my kick panel and identical ones out of a 67 and he still tells me that the 66/67 ones that they are going to send me may not fit. I have to pay return freight but they are going to ship my replaces back prepaid. And yes I had already ordered the upgraded 200w pioneer speakers. Thanks for to every one for the help. I'll add pics to my skydrive when I get them installed

 

The 66/67 ones will fit. I just wish they would put the tab w/screwhole at the top.

 

When I got mine, they did not match. I was told that one of them was for a convertible. After I got the correct set, I still had to trim them a little to get them in.
