if you look at the first picture in this thread you can see where the 5" picturetube was above the pc 10".... I useda 5" color tv....took it apart & installed the guts in the dash... the picture tube was really cool & brite.... I had a tinted glass over it so when off it disapeared.... there was a panel that was on two slider tracks(along side monitor) that slid up & covered the pc screen completely....... it had the climate control face & the sony eq face on it, both of these units were deep in original form but I had to extend remote the two displays.... then the panel slid down to reveal the monitor..... most people would just say "oh ****" when seeing this car for the first time... at least twice... one when the panel came down to reveal the pc monitor & then again when I pressed the remote & the nose tilted open revealing a sick looking engine.... back then everything was polished & finished off nice..... she sat on a sweet set of 17" centerline billets that looked surprisingly appropriate on this cadillac she had the stance of a impala ss with the same sized 255/50 17's....

yeah... I forgot you saw it in the garage... I guess now you see it a little better..... next year I'll be able to bring it to a meet hopefully.....

back when this car was on the streets the ricers were starting to run around.... I used to love to kill those buzz bombers!!!..... today I wouldn't mind building a buzz bomber..... looking for a possible project...got a few in mind....

very nice turbocad.. so.. the question is.. which ride are you bringing to the meet?

turbocad6 · 08-13-2005, 09:25 PM

my current daily driver is more complete at the moment..... maybe not much more

I have a lot of things I'm working on at the moment.. hopefully I get something completed for the meet.... I should at least have the liquid cooled screen up & running

I've got a 91 caddy like this, but a 4 door sedan.. that has a big system in it along with a pc.... that car is retired now & I plan on pulling the system & installing most of it in this car..... that one has the same dash as this one & I did a lot of work to it, building a apline screen into a flip up housing in the top of the dash... might just drop all that in there.....but of course with a new pc!

either that or just sell the 91 with the whole system & just do all new stuff here.... anyone want to by a 91 broaham sedan with a trunk load of old school ppi art series amps... alpine multimedia setup with a 10.4" tochscreen pc in the dash..... it has 150k on it & has seen better days... but all in all shes not so bad.... I may post that car in the clasifieds & see if anyone wants it complete....

..................ahhhhhh that wouldn't have been my first choice

... I have an accord coupe that I'm thinking of doing.... gotta see if I get the car cheap enough though... I'm picturing it all blacked out with a set of black 18's with a chrome lip... just don't know if I could drive a little jap thing though.... it is a pretty big coupe kinda... I really would love to build a twin turbo supra..... that would be hot..

this car is going to get the keyboard in the steering wheel that I built..... just kinda fits it really.... & since I'm removing no airbag it should actually be all legal like

.....

That's awesome man! I can't believe that... That's like 11 years ago. You were definitely one of the first ones! That's amazing.

ah... just got the image of the guy getting in a accident, air bag opens... and keys imprinted on his forehead...

yeah man, every time someone see's that wheel I get the crashing jokes.... don't know why this brings that to mind so much..... but I had a thread on this steering wheel once.... & every other comment was about crashing...

Meelobee · 08-15-2005, 04:34 PM

Haha that steeringwheel is awesome
