I'm planning to build a high-performance kit car. One of the elements of the build that fulfills a long-standing geek desire of mine has to do with electronics, LCD-video, cameras (as replacement for mirrors) and integrated GPS.
So I'm looking for information on how to construct a center console (the kit has no console connecting the dash to the floorboard in it's design) to house a number of color LCD screens, a touch screen controller and then the requisite camera technology and GPS (Garmin and/or Magellan makes a screenless unit that could 'plug in') and audio system (that could be a standalone unit) to make it all work.
Any suggestions? I'm a newbie on kit cars but a bit of a long-standing auto geek.
Thanks,

Good question, I would honestly take a look at our sister site, http://www.caraudiomag.com/index.html they are a great resource I would honestly suggest fiberglass as an option for it because it can be made into almost any shape you need and looks really sharp.  

plenty of knowledge base in the custom car hobby ("pimp my ride" type of guys). Books readily available on the subject. The usual approach is to carve the dash out of foam then cover it in fiberglass. I had intended to do something like that for my 300SL replica but was hesitant to lose the original dash look. You can buy sun-visors that flip down and have an 8" LCD screen for about $300 a pair, a pin-hole camera for about $30 each, $50 if you want night infra-red. If you are electronically savy you can add a Garmin, a DVD player and even the output of your cars electronic computer. If you succeed let me know because I intend to do that SOMEDAY to my car.
