Finally got fully updated on this, Great looking project i am looking forward to seeing how your overhead switch panel idea works out as i am trying to work out solutions for a similar mod for my K5. Right now i am researching the idea of doing an incar computer based off of the Raspberry Pi that i may end up using in that same general area.
RPi carputer idea is rad. I've been looking around at options for doing that. For now I'm not going to be doing it with this truck, but we're going to use an RPi in my dad's 24 Hours of LeMons Miata as a race dash connected to my Race Capture Pro MKII.
I'm getting pretty close to getting the headliner up, so I'll have more info on the switch pod soon.
My dad is in town this week and we're making great progress on stuff. Not 100% we're gonna get it fired this week since I found I was missing some misc. connectors I wasn't thinking of for the oil cooler setup, but we're getting lots of other things done besides. The roof rack is going on tomorrow, which I know doesn't sound super awesome, but once the roof rack is on, then the headliner and trim can go on, which means the switch pod goes on. We should have all the doors on this week as well. That's been a major project getting those converted to power.
Once I'm done with the doors the engine will start going together pretty quick... Hoping to fire it very soon.
