How did you match the color so good? Is it a standard color? or did you know the color of the dash and mixed the paint yourself?

What's wrong with a Volvo? It seems all Americans I meet online seem to dislike Volvo, how come? You got an S60 which is for Dutch standards anyway a big fat fast car. It's the type that dominates the left lane, together with the big BMW's and Mercedeses. You say you're forced to drive it, you don't like it? I know I'd love to have one.

Actually the auto parts store had some import paint that was designed for painting trim, in the color that was pretty close. But I am going to end up redoing it because the finish ended up glossy and the rest of the dash is matte.

Now that i've been driving it for a few months i'm really enjoying the car. I just didnt like it at first because I didnt pick the car, my ex did. Just doesnt feel the same driving a car that you didnt pick out yourself.

Thanks

Very nice job and cool car (yes it is!)...

I'm proud of you

Thanks man, i'm glad it came out as good as it did. Now i'm just working on adding some more cool features. More pics to come!

Woot!, finished my 2nd PSU setup today. Since i'm running so much stuff I know i've been stressing my Opus 150 out, so I purchased a Opus 80 to power the Lilliput, USB CD-RW, XMDirect and my new ATI TV Wonder

now for the pictures

Here is the case with my opus 80 and my lm317 based 6 volt power supply for the ATI TV Wonder

you can also see the temp based fan controller I added to help keep the noise down.





and in this image you can kind of see the remote LED I mounted for the Opus status light.

Thats a big *** fuse there Jerry. Or is it a flux capacitor Doc brown? hehe

ps how is the hair? you need some gel and anti-frizz stuff?

very funny

I just like making sure things are safe

Actually i'm installing the flux next weekend, i'm just waiting for the Mr. Fusion from ebay
