Meh. I put Mazda Miata seats in my CJ with the speakers in the headrest. Decent sound, right at my ears.

Since you are determined to save weight, why not eliminate that clunky ignition switch altogether and replace with something smaller and more lightweight? The key can be ziptied to the TDM and relocated somewhere.Relocated the ignition switch to make room on the left side of the dash - gotta have room for those tunes (dash speaker).
I also determined that having a steel dash panel in front of the ignition switch sensor (plastic) ring will not read the chip in the ignition key most of the time - it interferes with the RFID signal. So my ignition switch is moved to the lower edge of the dash and is forward enough for the plastic sensor to protrude slightly from where the dash panel will be mounted.
Edit: update with a better photo with the mockup dash panel.Relocated the ignition switch to make room on the left side of the dash - gotta have room for those tunes (dash speaker).

15 to date: 4@1/8 (pilot holes), 3@7/16, 4@1/2, 2@9/16, and 2@5/8. I will need to do some more speedhole counting to get an accurate to date number.Can we get a running tally of all the drill bits you've burned through so far?
Tim: I assume you are going with a quick release for the steering wheel? Just asking since that will move the wheel closer to the driver.Playing with the windshield mount to change the angle, was definitely too straight from DF. Judicious bending of the hood mounting tabs, trimming of the bottom edge of the frame to match the hood contour, and putting some more bow into the frame gets the angle just right.
Thinking the frame will look good in chrome.
And yes the plexiglass is on the outside just for the mock up.
