My Carputer

[Suburbank2500]

Some year ago i made a "Carputer"
With internet access, Radio, Cell phone control,OBD diagnostic(GMTD Scan-tech), backup cameras, movie, music, and the usual pc programs.

Backup camera is wiewed in the sun screen, i can switch between left and right camera on the monitor.
Movies can be watched on the carputer or in the monitor in the glovebox.
Added USB ports on the dash for Bluetooth and other stuff.
DVD player in the roof console for the monitor in the glove box.( ripped from a nextbase portable player.)

Nice job on the installation. I think you were way ahead of everybody with some of it.

Not too shabby.

It's in my 300M, not my truck.

Although, the truck will eventually get one to go with the 7"touch screen I currently have installed....

Awesome job; you're a fiberglass master. Those gauges look really good in that overhead console, I think that's where my fuel pressure and exhaust back pressure gauges are going to go.

I'm interested in how you managed to mold your center console to have such smooth curves and even that curve/bump out on the passengers side of it. Looks very professional; I want to learn how to mold fiberglass like this.

Very nice truck all around.
In USA (maybe Norway?) the Infinity FX35 has a optional camera system that allows you to see 360* around the car on one screen with 4 cameras. When veiwing the monitor its like an overhead view looking down on your car. Very cool. It makes backing up absolutely easy for anyone. You can see the curb on right/left side and where you are backing to it highlighted with some lines.

Google "fiberglass kick panels".

Same techniques, different application....

Hi dully its not so very hard you know.
I started with a cardboard piece, and a Profile pattern gauge, then i transfered this to plywood, and fixed the distance between the two sidewalls.
Then i used a dens plate that is very much like the expanding building foam. Its used by boatbuilders to make hulls longer, and more. Its very strong when you fiberglass it on both sides.
i used polyester to fix them toghether in the thickness i wanted, then its just so sand the into the shape you want. They are very nice to sand and cut shapes in. Then i used very fine fibercloth to create a outher shell.
Because of the inner plywood plates you will have a good base for fixing the interior pieces.
Paint it any color desired, and enjoy it.
