I don't know how to resize the image. in the lower hole, where the temperature controls were, i'm going to put a 7" flip out tv for quick audio adjustments. in the air vents i'm going to put my center channel for 5.1 DTS, as well as the remote eye for the 6 disc dvd player.

I isn't that hard to but them in the glove box, but I don't have a/c and am simplfing the whole car right now I am removing every wire I don't need. I cut out a ton of wires aready All I need is positive and ground and switch 12, so just switch 12 need to be ran under the driver seat as 12 and ground are there from power seats and the sparco's have lots of room under them!

No back seats it is all fiberglass sub on the driver side and amps on passenger! but that is far from done!

Oh yeah I tought about the center console but that is much hard with the vac. lines. I would like to replace the controls with just some nice switchs for the center console! Or go to a replacment defrost and heat unit( small and clean).

well I made a ABS plastic suround that fit the out side of the screen the hot glued it to the stock trim the fiberglassed it in! It is so easy realy! The gauges in the airbag was a little harder and the fiberglass rear seat area with amps and sub was almostimposible there is No flat area all hand sanded and goes from side to side and half way up the back seat area! Still need to finnish that!

The idea is simple fiberglass then mating ( repeat tell it is strong make wood from to mount to the mold of the floor and fiberglass wood on then stretch fabric over the wood frame(or mounts for sub/amp) to make the angles then fiberglass that. That is how the seat area and airbag setup was. The tv screen and center console is fiberglass. Fiberglass-mix, brush on, sand,over and over tell done!

PS: I made two of these the prototype was A prototype 8" picture in picture and split screen tv for Pioneer electronics but was not used in the end do to Pioneer's not releasing the tv in usa do to some USA laws! And the plastic around the screen was removed and molded right to the camaro trim. Much nicer but oh well! Sorry can't show pics of that. But I will have pics of electronics ever seen in the states and a later time!
