Does anyone have the template that Brett put together for the kick panel speaker cutouts? Can't seem to get the links in the older posts to work for me.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know about a template but when I did mine I cut a small (1") hole roughly in the center of the spot then worked my way out with a small cutting bit in a dremel or rotozip to get the fit exactly in the right spot in the small channel area. A 4" round speaker fit there perfectly. there are some good pics of it on my site if you are interested. depending on the fit of your kick panels with carpeting, sound deadener,etc., I don't know if I would trust any template as being perfect for your car.

This is from John "Hammered"'s web site

Thanks, that will get me started.

Original Kickpanel Speaker Cutouts

4x6 speakers fit perfect and will fit behind the stock style speaker grills.

Brett! (let me know if you have any problems and I can send it directly)

Those look sweet. I'm in the process of doing the same on my 67 convertible.

I have a couple questions.

Are those the original speaker grills or after market? What are the dimensions of the grill covers? I know Ames has them for $55/pr.

Are they suppose to be the interior color or left aluminum color?

You mentioned 4x6 speakers. What brand and wattage did you install?

What do you have for a radio?

The grills are actually cheaper at classic and with the 20% off (thru the 30th) will cost you $43.99 for a pair, plus shipping. I just ordered a pair myself.

Does the speaker mount to the metal body panel behind, or does it make a sandwich with the plastic kick panel & grill?

Thanks for the tip. From their website. They say paint to match interior color as desired. But was that how they came or were they left natural from the factory?

Did you use their 4x6 speakers too?

KICK PANEL SPEAKER GRILLS (PAIR)

Speaker grills are for use with 1967-69 kick panels. Exact duplicate of the original factory installed grill. Manufactured in natural steel. Paint to match interior color as desired.

I didn't order their speakers, I need to order a set of aftermarket ones.
Can't help you on the color, mine were all gone when I got the car.

got mine from Classic. you definatly need to paint them as there are imperfections in there plating. I had them bring out 4 different sets before giving up and deciding I needed to paint them
