I'm also using a Xenarc touch screen monitor for my Car PC system.

What's going in the slot to the left of the HVAC control?

What's going in the slot to the left of the HVAC control?The slot is for a 4 port USB hub that will be hooked to the PC. I'll be able to plug in just about anything I want there to use with the PC

What material did you use to create the gauge clusters? It looks like they are recessed.

The gauge pods were cut from a regular pillar gauge pod cover that I had. I cut and fitted them to the console and then molded them in with the ABS sludge.Started fitting the Xenarc monitor last night.

as i told ya before, awesome work! i'm jealous of your car already and now you're outshining my computer!
i have a question for you, how did you like the abs sludge method compared to the old method you used (assuming you used a different method last time). I'm finding it to be much sturdier. i can twist and bend the bezel without cracking it.

I don't know about that outshining part Scott, this is gonna be a very long term project 
The ABS sludge method is by far the best way to go over previous methods that I have tried

Never ceases to amaze me how creative some people are around here..... OUTSTANDING!!!
Personally, I don't think the location for the gauges is very good in terms of "function" while driving..... But, man do they look great there!!!
Can't wait to see the finished result.
