Omg, first off, I am so proud of myself and I think I should be, it took me all day to wire the monitor, powerbook under the seat and the various pariphenials (like AC/DC inverter). I'll post more picts up later; but for now.. here's two shots (Second one's for you Latin




Next week I should have it custom fiberglassed into the dash.. for now it's just kinda hanging out Secure.. mostly.. but hanging out.

Tell me what you think!

Ace, it's a custom job using parts from Home Depot- woo woo! It's pretty touch and go, at first it was tilted in horribly, but I openedit back up and did some readjusting of the bolts, and now it's almost perfect. There are picts here: (HERE!) but they are of the way tilted in setup. To fix the problem, I moved the screw to the hole in the rail furthest towards the edge, and on the other side changed which hole on the headunit the rail screwed into. More picts of the new (flush) setup later- dealing with troubleshooting problems now (noise in audio system, the powerbook I had hooked up died a mysterious death).


As for 6 inch vs 7 th- the 7 inch is big for the 2 din spot; I need to cut away material before I fiberglass it in. A 6 inch would work better, but there are very few quality 6 inch screens out there. You could buy a namebrand double din touchscreen from Panasonic for 1600$.... but I decided not to. Xenarc will soon be a name brand anyway; and much cheaper and just as good of quality.
