Update: MPGuino Custom Mounting - A Pillar Pod - Part One
So far, things are going well with this. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. Got to rush to work. Looking forward to continuing on this over the weekend!
Wiring work (as received). Will be redone with Arduino jumper pins, heat shrink'd wires, etc..
Disassembled and ready to work.
Taping/Mocking/Marking everything up
Notch cutting (done with dremel and diamond cut disk)
How it sits in the car.
Front panel/facia will be made out of this stuff. Then glued in; then fabric layed down and stretched to shape; then fiberglass laid on top (similar process to building custom abstract shaped speaker boxes, idea being the all the edges to the new panel are "smoothed" out across the shape of the existing pod form); then bondo; then SEM paint to mach the OEM pillar color (light gray).
Here you can see how the front facia will sit flush (hopefully) with the existing pod mold/shape.
More to come. Thanks for
eco-tuning in!
