Default Converting 40 yearold AM car radio to AM + FM

I've been asked to convert a 1962 car radio (Ge technology) to include FM.
Its in a classic car so front panel appearance at least must be un-altered.
I'm thinking of using a personal matchbox size mono FM receiver with step
button channel change, to fit inside.
Drop the 12V to 3V, couple antenna to exiting antenna, switch out AM and
switch in FM and couple in , adjusted, the o/p to amp input of the car
radio.
Of course I could extend the switches out of the car radio case but anyone
ideas for hiding switches in the existing radio case?
The tuning advance button could perhaps be mounted behind a flexible part of
the front panel but what about the 2 way switch for AM/FM select ?
