mod idea.

[Huw Powell]

You need to talk to Nate Stuart...

I checked his web site and there were no obvious links to the work he
has been doing on this, but I have seen photos he had there somewhere.
He built a tiny PC in a plexiglass box, and removed the center vents in
his 90Qt to install a roughly double-DIN size screen.  I think the
keyboard goes in the glove compartment.  I can't remember if he is gonna
have it set up for gauging or not, but there will be an mp3 and dvd
player.  That way he can watch his in-car camera while actually on the
track...
