CarPC Update

Screen is on it's way, power supply is on it's way... quite literally, just waiting for parts to arrive. Once the screen gets here (hopefully sometime early this week) I'll be able to rework the fiberglass bezel to fit the screen and not have too much white space. Once that's finished, I'm going to go ahead and install minus the power supply... Powersupply will be an easy 30 minute install (12v from the battery, ground, and a wire to the ignition switch with an on/off switch inline too) and tada, all finished! Oye I'm so ****ing anxious.

that is gonna be freakin sweet.

wish i had the money for that

lol tell me about it, my dad bought the screen for me, and I had to sell some stuff I had laying around to get the money for the power supply. I start working again on Monday, but I still wont get a check until the 28th... that's a whole month and ten days since I had a check last!

my last check was in march, I know the feeling (it sucks owning a new business)

[meissen]

what do you call regular? last week I made $50 (that almost filled the tank on the gp)

[meissen]

Ah, well in that case, that sucks!

[archemedes]

yes very.I'm having to go get a real job here shortly (probably will be working at sears essential, and keeping the business secret from them I have an interview on the 17th)

why isn't it in the car yet?

[97rs4life]

yea quite screwing around in the house and put that in the car! Should have had everything in the car but the monitor already.

Well I'm making the bezel right now, we're using my extra stock radio bezel to make it work the right way, and then I have to remove the plastic bezel from the screen, and then use filler to make it all one piece. My dad's working on the shim for mounting it, and I'm sanding.

Don't forget, too, I'm still waiting on the power supply!

[archemedes]

no more excuses I want it done damit

[meissen]

YOU want it done? Lmfao, if you only knew.
