I'm going to take a look at that hardware cloth you mentioned and see what I can find.

As for the sides, I had the debate going in my mind as to what to do there. I originally was going to go with just plain rectangular cutouts for the rads as there was no decoration to the sides originally with these radios, but the more I looked at it, the less I liked the idea. I didn't want something on the sides however that would draw attention away from the front. That is really more why I want with the shape that I did on the side cutouts. They were somewhat of a pain to do as is, but trying to do the design from the front that you sketched would be a really major pain, and I think would draw away too much attention from the front. Maybe I'm wrong, but at this point I've got both sides done and am happy with what I've got. Thanks for the ideas.
How right you are about my proposed design drawing away from the great detail work you've done on the front. If it were sitting in front of me I'd have seen that but, as with so many things, it's different when you're not there ...
