I have a navigation radio question

I'm building my 56 with as many creature comforts as I can because it will be a drive it anywhere anytime rig.
With that being said has any one done an new navigation radio, and if so do you have any pictures of the finished install?
I'm thinking that I can use the panel I bought from Tucker's to replace the area where the stock radio would go and cover all the unused original holes in the dash. Interestingly enough when I made a template of the dash couture then transferred it to some masking tape on the side face of the 8" radio it only has less then 1/8" of mismatch!

Yes it is a sweet setup. I just wanted to see if anyone has put one in a TF. I was thinking of different options....
