I wanted to take one of the car radios and build a cabinet for it, to

worked in electronics said it wouldn't work as well in the house. Do
you all think it would?

It will depend on the type of building you are in - car aerials are
usually in the open. ;-)

But as said before - no need for a battery and charger unless you suffer
from power cuts. You can buy mains power units designed for this purpose
from RS etc.
