what am I using as far as what?
The screen is a Blaupunkt 6.5". The materials I used in this project are: Blau 6.5" screen pod, CA glue PPG DF705 body filler, sandpaper and primer. It's a quick dirty way to be cool with little time involved. I tiwll be done with less that 2 hours total work time!
As far as camera (if you were aksing about the pic quality) I am using a Nikon Coolpix 5200 5.2 megapixel camera, the same one I use to shoot images for my magazine work. Its a great little camera and I got helluva deal on it at only $200! Sure I would love to have a D70 or a Canon digital SLR but dang, $1000? yikes. Anyhoo, I will be posting the primed pics tommorrow and then when it gets painted. I will also be covering the fiberglass build up of the console where I will be relocating the deck and A\c controls. cool stuff!

I would have liked to have used a larger screen for this, but he wanted to use the 6.5 and he wanted to relocate the a\c controls, so I could center it. otherwise, I would have just put it high up and moved the deck only. I should look cool, plus he LOVES flames and he can get some airrushing done around the screen to tkae up some of that extra space.
