Not this time to be honest; I made this public over 18 months ago
and I got tons of email then, this time you're third...
My first message was on 25-7-2002:
<http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews/message/27043>
And I comprised a FAQ regarding most questions I got:
<http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews/message/27069>
Most of this still stands, except for the last question;
see below for explanation...

It's not THAT small an area. I'm actually anticipating someone
putting a small TFT-screen there, like you find on Cell Phones
and small color TV's nowadays...

I don't sell them and don't plan on doing so either.
Over the past time I've made yet another 2 revisions of the
thing, the depicted one is something like revision 6 or 7...

As I said above; there's a little something about the FAQ;
I wrote:
>> Q- Can/will you provide me with instructions

>> A- I can and I will, but this takes time

Since there was virtuellay NO demand for this I haven't even bothered
making any instructions or parts lists. The latter would have been
futile anyway as some of the NEW parts I'd used have since become
unavailable and/or have been relabeled or re-categorised...

And for those interested:

Of THOSE 23 Projects 8 are still pending, of which 4 on my DeLorean.
But there've been 9 other (new) projects on the D that have been done
or are newly pending and I've also bought another car to replace
my old Ford Escort I then had and this "new" car has also added
new projects to my list...

Current score: 19 projects, of which 11 car-related, 7 concerning
the DeLorean, 4 on my Nissan and one on the various other cars my
family owns and drives....

If you have any specific questions on making such a panel yourself
drop me an email at <delorean <at> home <dot> nl> and I'll try
to answer every single one of them...

Everyone have a great weekend,
