I guess I shouldn't laugh at that one. In the dashboard of my first car, a
'72 Chevy Vega GT, I put an elapsed time(hour meter), a vacuum meter, a
voltmeter, and a line of 6 microswitches and LED's to control the various
radio, casette tape, and CB outputs to the various speakers and headphone
jacks in my car. I also added a electric fuel pump cutoff, homemade alarm
system and extra interior lights. Most of this electrical work was done
with red and black wire, until I ran out of red. Then it was all black
wire. I'm definitely a reformed DPO.
I also had a really cool (at that time) solar powered fan sitting on the
dashboard. Oh and I almost forgot the best of all; A box full of
mechanical relays, which at the throw of a switch, would alternately blink
my headlights just like a police car. Talk about trffic clearing out in
front of you. Fortunately, I never got caught using it.
Hmmmmm. A lot of this stuff would be WAY COOL on the TR3. <KIDDING>
Later,
Jack
