hard to say really... when I take the dash apart I'll see more I guess... I'm thinking more like climate control staying where it is, extending down from there & going below where the radio ends a bit... maybe a 10.4 in portrait mode? might have to shorten the shifter a bit too... it's friggin huge.... I can convert it to a t style from like a bmw or something & get rid of that wood ashtray stuff.... we'll see

wholy ****, I did start a thread last night!!!

I didn't even know it

I typed everything, attached a picture... clicked submit... got an IE error msg, went back & all the text I typed was gone.... I then went to bed thinking I'd have to redo it today.... I just went into the worklog section & there it was

this is the thread for the caddy... feel free to abuse it with ideas

I've been a little on hold with these seats cause my upholsterer really screwed up one of the seat covers... bad enough that he had to order a replacement from katzkin

I fitted my lcd to my cluster today... it fits nice... I did have to kick the lower edge down very slightly, but it'll look fine when done... I'm going to make a whole new gauge face for this...backlit electroluminecent...

Have you seen that?

Hello! Look at the frigging post date for the first post! It's only about 3 months OLDER than the Work logs section. Chill out.

...yeah man, there was no seperate worklogs section when I started this

my new one is in worklogs though...

**turbocad6** · 12-26-2006, 12:21 AM

& coucouillu, that's cool.... lcd's in clusters is going to be huge in a few years I think.... next best thing to heads up... & better for high resolution displays really... that one looks great..

maybe he got ****ed cause he read all 500+ posts expecting to see the finished project

.. if that's the case, think how I feel

...

but, truth is, none are really ever finished.... most are always going to be a work in progress... for the few years I've driven this truck, even though it's always been technically "under construction", for the most part, there has been a functioning system in the truck the majority of the time... from phase 1, to phase 2, to the current half completion of phase 3... I'm almost always on line & functional at any given time... even in the partially finished state, my carpc is fully functional
