So after seeing alot of the carputers in the forum i have decided to go ahead and attempt to build one in my truck. i want to use an old laptop as a starter but my question is how would i convert the power source to a 12v so i can run it in the car?

I use an auto/airplane converter that is made for laptops. They are available on ebay for around $30 shipped

Take a look at the FAQ's on power supplies. There's a link in the navigation bar at the top of this forum and also a link to more extensive FAQ's in my signature.
