Wow, I haven't looked at this thread in awhile.
I'm pretty sure when Disarming that Bomb you're supposed to cut THE Red wire. Or is it the other red wire.
I hope you are marking them somehow.
In all seriousness, the design work is mind blowing. Will this be available in Heath-kit form?

Update
Sorry for the lack of updates, live gets in the way sometimes
What have been up to the past 5 months?
I am officially an owner, meaning I now have my car titled and plated in my name. I have been waiting until it was official until I updated my profile here.
I settled into my now home and workshop
Took the car to a car show in my town. The cars next to mine are my buddies cars, its nice to have friends to go with to car shows with.
Some wiring shots.
Rear shelf
Had my friend take some professional pictures.
I went to Delorean Weekend in Vegas and had great time. I did a presentation on my work and I will post it here soon. Here is a video I showed for it.
Thanks everyone!

Wow, that looks awesome!! Very modern but appropriate. I can only imagine the hours that you spent designing, building and testing.
Congrats on the car purchase and your new spacious garage/work area.

This is my first time finally looking through and holy crap is there more? Since the last engine swap thread I went down the rabbit hole of doing an EV conversion and thought maybe I should do a digital dash to display everything.
I'd like to mess with the digital dash while i start saving for the EV components. What is the physical size of the display?
Love the synthwave dashes by the way, that's 100% what I plan on going for.

Does anyone have an update on this? Hopefully it just didn’t stop at a non-functional set of graphics on a screen that fits the dash. I’d install it on mine
81' gas flap. Sept build. 14k miles. Mostly original. Updating things...
I emailed him through the forum and commented on the YouTube video featuring it. I haven't gotten a response yet.
Now I've got a raspberry pi with a carberry shield. This will allow me to get can signals from the motor controller. I want to use the code and alter it to work with the signals I get. I'm working on a separate plain text display just to get something first cause I don't want to start this from scratch.

Even if he did finally finish the project, at the end of the day, it wouldn't be anywhere close to a plug and play solution, unless he's been doing some crazy R&D in the past couple years.
Anyone wanting to complete this would have to start their own project, although it would probably include a good set of directions plus software.
Additionally, most owners aren't willing to go the extremes that bttws has gone in modifications. I definitely saw this when I finished my own modern cluster. People just get cold feet when they see the time and money involved in this kind of project.
Hell, there's only a handful of people on this very forum, including me, who are willing to tear extensively into their classic car...resale value be damned.
/end rant
In any case, I'd still like to see this project complete and functional haha.
