3000GT with 10.4" Lilliput monitor

Ok, we got back form the 3SI Gathering in MI (well worth the driver BTW) so here's the write up for the lilli install...

First thing, take apart the Lilli 10.4" monitor for the bezel and store the other parts until needed.


Next, I hacked up an old console I bought off of Ebay. Notice how much plastic I had to grind off to get the bezel to fit
and the area where I want to install a Jeep cup holder (where the ashtray and lighter were):


I created a fiberglass form of the area I wanted to fill:



I figured I try to make a plastic ring by spreading Dynatron plastic around the fiberglass form:


After 20 minutes, I took the ring off and taped it into the console to let it set and harden overnight.



What a frustrating effort that was. It ended up being a waste of time and a 1/2 tube of Dynatron (and that stuff is $25 a package).
The ring was just too flimsy to use as a base for the monitor bezel.

Thankfully, Our neighbor stopped over with her pug puppy which made my day! LOL! Cute little squirt!
