I haven't heard of anyone doing this, but it should be pretty straight forward.

Ideally I would like the drop down screen to be able to show something different to the front but I know I am not going to be able to do that with a MMini and unfortunately being the MacFan boy/windoze hater I am I just cannot even consider going to PC and build my own box.
You could go with something other than a Mini (like a PowerMac/MacPro) which would allow you that add additional video cards. Another options some have talked about (not sure if anyone actually did it yet though) is to use AppleTV(s) for the rear screen(s) and have them use the Mini as their source server (e.g. create a network in the car).
The idea of different video sources for your screens could actually complicate your audio plan too depending on what you want. If you wanted the Mini to be the stereo and require the kids to use the headphones, then it is nice and simple. If, instead, you want the car speakers to be an output option for the rear screen then you need to able to switch between audio sources (Mini vs media players) as well as the output path (speakers vs headphones).
