I'm thinking that most of the hidden in the dash setups just have a flip up/flip down door of some sort. As Leegreen showed it is all about what your imigination and your personal skills allow for.
I've been thinking about mounting the head unit below the dash and using what looks like the cover off a tissue box that my grandmother had in her 54 Chevy and had transferred to her 61 Brookwood wagon (or had a new one installed in the wagon).

They are way too expensive used unless a guy just happens to find one somewhere now . This one on Ebay right now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/28509708035...Bk9SR5bwseazYQ

I think the second one that is plainer and swung out is what my grandmother had in her 61.

I'm not using a stock dash in my 48 though. I am using the dash out of a car that I used to own. Period correct for the build.
