I had another minor set back in the dash design. Doing some clean up and welded vertices in the back that I didn't notice until it was too late. Nothing to big, maybe an hour or so of extra work.

I'm still impressed. I was looking carefully at cubby box behind passenger seat; I think with some minor modifications I will be able to mount a PS 4 there, then run connection wires along console to dash....
Also I came up with another "over-the-top" feature that I would like to incorporate into my Z. I want to add a "Amazon Echo"! Have you seen the ECHO's? I got onboard with AMAZON 6 months ago to be part of trial survey. I got my ECHO for $99.00... Ha,ha, mine answers to the name "Alexa" (very hot voice) . I think AI is going to be awesome.

That's so cool! I hadn't heard of the Amazon Echo yet! Thanks for passing that on, and if you need any help with the PS4 conceal hit me up at the next MAZOC meet maybe we can figure something out together on it!

I'm definitely going to have to follow the Echo for a while though!!!

Windows 10 comes out tomorrow, and I have a free upgrade for my home PC. It looks like Cortana will be integrated into it. I am hoping that I may be able to use her for voice commands and much more but we will see about that when I get there.

That may not be as far off as we thought lol!!

Well I was able to get those problem areas fixed last night. Now I am just going through and making sure that all the points are in the correct places to keep the shape of the original. This week I will be adding the tabs on the back for connecting the vents and mounting to the rest of the dash.

It's been a long time coming, but in a couple weeks or less I will be starting to adjust the size to fit the screen. The next leg of the journey will be placing the rest of the computer components, designing the computer case, and nailing down prices with vendors for the first prototype!

Amazon Echo is $130 today for Prime day instead of $180 if you were genuinely interested :P

Dam! I forgot all about today being Prime Day. Anyhow I'm on the "wait list" for ECHO. ( it will be my 2nd Echo, got the first one for $99.00, when I signed up to join test market for it 6 months ago if not longer) PS - that screen you put a pic of looks great!

I finished closing in the back side of the dash and fixing my screw up last night. Now I am cleaning up the design before I start on the tabs for mounting!

I'm also talking to a few different reps on screens to find a good monitor for the build for my next steps. So far the front runner is a really nice looking infrared touchscreen. Take a look and let me know what you think.
