My wife and I were looking though your website today and we noticed the kick panels in this pic......

Is the factory or did you have it done? The ones on our '73 ar solid with no grill like opening in them.

thanks,
rob and shannon.

 

They are factory original ... they are pretty hard to find though ... were in cars that had 4-speaker stereo's ....

 

thanks!


any certain years i should look for?

 

My 73 Comet had the kickpanels with the grill insert for speakers...

 

Dosen't look to hard to do if you spend a few hours with a dremel and be extreamly careful.

 

The link didnt work but be very careful about doing this, make sure the speaker will fit behind your kickpanels. Ive been told some cars won't let you put speakers there

 

I think it may have something to do with the year. My '74 has the round openings behind the kick panels. My dad said he dosen't remember his '71 Comet haveing them.

 

jamie,
good point . i have never seen a speaker opening like that . all my openings had to be ...massaged... '69.5, '71, two '73s,'76,'77...frank...

 

my 73 has the openings.

 

I think 4-speaker Stereos became in option in 73 so all cars 73 and up should have it cutout.

 

My 1972 doesn't have the round speaker openings.

 

My '73 has them and my '72 doesn't. Never really gave it any thought till I read this post. I learned something new that I already knew.

 

My 72 dont have them either.
