In Car PC Set Up For ECU+

This started as a plan to just have a lap top in the car to run ECU+ an engine management piggyback system for my EVO. It has since turned into so much more. I am in the process of relocating the heat and air controls of the car and adding a 7" in dash. I was awake at 1 am so this is what I am starting with.

It's not much, but more stuff will be coming soon.

1st I trimmed the edges of the shroud to fit the panel,



I then trimmed the front of the panel to match up with the shroud.


Then came the body filler. Keep in mind I have never actually worked with this stuff, just seen it done.



Here are some pics of the system thats going in the car.



And of course the ECU+ stuff.........

Dash bezel coming along pretty good. This stuff is hard, but man it's rewarding to see it take shape.
