Very Nice Jeff

Thanks Steve.. here is the list of Components now:

Parts I am using:
Donor DIC. I cut the flexible circuit board as it got on the way. I soldered wires to the DIC Connecter

Arduino Due
https://www.amazon.com/Arduino-org-A...5821885&sr=8-3
Ended up soldering wires to the IO lines I am using. Currently 6 IO lines, my current screen does not support dimming, if I get one that is dimmable, then I will use one more IO

Screen Shield:

I/O interface:

Jeff,

Can’t we find somebody who can 3D Print the radio bezel? The one issue is finding the stencils for the lettering.

I am sure we could..

It looks like it would need to be injection molded, maybe thermal molding would work. BUT it would be "crazy expensive" per my better half who runs a plastics shop, due to costs of the mold and production issues. Hand laid carbon fiber would probably be cheaper. I don't think 3D printing would yield a lasting product.

The C5 guys have a custom bezel to allow for a Double DIN radio.. last I recell that piece was $250-300..

The piece I am working is actually using 3 bezels, Acetone and ABS pellets.

The radio surround has been changed, the drivers side has been widened to allow for the 1994 console side, and now the DIC has been made to fit the LCD. the right side I added should be about 1/8" closer to the center, bit I think it will be fine

I think it is now ready for paint. Unless I can find a place that hydro dips..
