I think that he's using a thingy gizmo and holding it up in front of his steering wheel.

The first few pictures are of the different screen designs that I made, the last 2 are showing the size in relation to where you would be sitting in the car and how visible it would be. This isn't something I intend on running forever however it is the fastest thing I could come up with to monitor everything until I can make a custom "replica" cluster like the OE Murci. Also I might add this is FAR from finished, the shark mouth and everything still needs to be finished, the Tablet is just sitting there.

Picked up my windshield yesterday and test fit it also worked on my batwing motors and new digital instrument cluster.


Here is a short video of the cluster, I'm using a 2013 Nexus 7 with the torq pro app and the bluetooth ODB2 reader

Nice being careful with the lenses just setting them down on a hard surface can put nicks, cracks it them :\
Car looks awesome

Never knew the bullet light blinked. Is it like that OEM or that's how you're putting it on yours? Either way, I like it. You sure have your work cut out for you in filling in all those gaps I see.

OEM light doesn't blink in that location however on the Fiero wiring harness there isn't a constant hot without the signal. A person could just jump a wire off of the headlights if they wanted but I'm just leaving them the way they are.

Gaps arent as bad as it looks, the fenders aren't bolted to the front bumper yet so the bumper is just sitting there making the gaps look off. And I'm sure they won't be perfect at this point of the build yet either.

Nice work. The larger headlight lens looks great. You've convinced me to cut the molded buckets out or my fenders.

I have to say the side markers fit the best. The holes trimmed for them are perfect.

Your headlights came out perfect!  Is there any way you can post some pictures of the back to see how you mounted the lights and sealed them up?  Thanks bud.

Here are the rest of the pictures of the lights all working, I also have a youtube video of a walk around of all the lights working I still need to post up.

Please excuse the mess in the shop I'm building a car

Haven't had time of may updates lately with the holidays and budget. However I have been working on my headlight buckets and finally got them finished, mounted & installed last night...

I completely redid my brackets from my original plan I had to make them a more OEM sealed unit that can be unbolted with 3 bolts and adjusted with slotted mounts. The wiring harness can just be unplugged and 3 bolts and the complete light comes out through the inner fender, out the wheel well without removing the bumper.

If you work and build in your shop alone like I do most of the time you will have a really hard time holding the headlight buckets in place while making brackets so the best thing I came up with the Plumbers Strap. You can screw it into the front luggage compartment run it under the bucket, then up and over the fender and pull until the bucket is in the desired place. You shouldn't need to screw the other end however I did since the glass lenses are so hard to come by and they are HEAVY!

In the other 2 pictures you can see the mounting brackets I fabricated and welded to the chassis.

Thanks for all the comments! 

Lenses are getting the tint put on, they will be the last thing I install after all the dust settles.
