I got the LCD working over the long weekend. It fit the hole perfectly. There wasn't going to be enough room at the top of the case to mount the whole LCD / LCD driver board / Raspberry Pi stack up there without interfering with the operation of the radio's original buttons. So I mounted the driver board and the Pi to the bottom of the case, but ran leads up to the LCD at the top. From a software perspective, I've got the LCD displaying the track name and artist when the song changes, and I will probably setup one of the buttons to allow you to cycle through the backlight colors for the LCD.

The photo didn't come out so great, but here's an update. The bushings I 3D printed worked out pretty well. It took a few tries to get the tolerances correct, but once I dialed them in they were a perfect fit. I still need to drill some holes in the knob shafts so I can add some sort of retaining pin to keep the knobs captured.
