I know it would suck to invest the money and have it not work but that's part of r&d. Maybe you could do a small kickstarter-type thing where we sponsor the final step by sending you $10-20 with the idea of getting a small discount when we buy the final product. Just throwing it out there
I have definitely considered some kickstarter like campaign. I want to make sure that I have a product to show before it gets to that point for sure though... I'm going to pull the dash out this weekend to get accurate dimensions on the width between the vents and overall height I have to play with now that I have a model.

I've started picking up components to test for the build. I found an hd/am/fm tuner for really cheap. Hopefully I can get it to work with my system. And my girlfriend bought me a monitor to try for my birthday, which should be here by Wednesday!

I think this is going to be great! When are you actually mounting the whole thing?

Hey thanks guys! I am traveling back to my home state Arkansas for a death in my family so I will be out for about a week or so... Once I get back I will be sketching up the changes to the dash to fit that big boy. I am working with a sales rep with 3D Systems on a price for a print now.

See if you can find a local shop that will print it for you, there are usually many places that do it.

That bezel on the screen looks huge! What are your plans, direct mount or are you taking it apart?

Yeah that would have been awesome... But with the road trip I didn't stay in one city more than a day. We got to see some really cool stuff along the way. Including a Auburn, Cord, and Duesenberg car museum and once a year auction. Also may have found a 280Z project car!

Finally after hitting Little Rock, Memphis, St. Louis, Springfield IL, Chicago, Auburn, Ft. Wayne, Columbus, and Frederick MD we are back home and back into the grind. I have some making up to do lol!

The bezel is bigger than I had expected but I am going to do a direct mount with this one to see how it will work. Lol good thing with prototypes you get to try different things!

Yes there most certainly are! I'm making some substantial progress on integrating the actual screen dimensions into the dash. As well as adjusting the dash to fit it! It's coming along very nicely! What do you all think?
