I work on aircraft huds. I thought they were silly when I first saw them coming from old school instruments, however they provide useful information without looking away from the window. Just adjust your focus for what you need to see. If you have to look back and forth to check instruments for a few hours this adds up. Our pilots now hate to fly when its broken. For simple tach/speed I can see it being kind of useful if your pushing your car.

If I'm flying a fighter jet going Mach whatever, I don't want to look down to see instruments...I want the info in my field of view.

Take a HUD out of a Pontiac. Soooo many of the the grandprix bonnevilles and g6 g8 had them. We had HUD in a 97 bonneville ssei. They can be grabbed cheap out of a junk yard or off eBay. Install it then give us a write up on how you did it.
