That looks like a mid-90s Mustang grafted onto a pickup bed, somewhat like an El Camino.
Am I correct?

I am interested in what you are going to do for a screen.

If you have thought of it.

Also be keen to see if you replace that ICC with a nice 7" touch and keep the funtion of the ICC within the ICC.

I reckon that would be an awsome mod.

Keep us in the loop of the ute's progress.

i'm still trying to decide what to do also..
i was going to move the ICC down the bottom in the empty space and then put the screen where the icc is now..
it all fits and a mate from work is doing this with his.. he has the screen in already.
there about 30 wires to extend and a ribbom cabel has to be cut from the main PCB thats for the piano key buttos..

but... i dont really wana start chopping any wires just yet.. the cars only 2 weeks old so for starters i am going to put the screen down in the empty space is behind the gear stick.
i know the viewing angle is going to be anoying as the screen in the old car wasnt that low and it did get anoying at times.. but i think it will be alright to start with.
i already have a space plastic front pannel for the dash that i can cut up and mold a screen into.. so i may do it some time in the futre.

as for the pc.. i currently have a mini itx 1000mhz but i am going to replace this with something a little faster as it was starting to geting a little slow with the newer software avalible..

but thats all i have for now..
