LCD Dash conversion for 1985 corvette
I have a 1985 corvette I'm woring on. I'm comletely changing the interior. My dash cluster doesn't display, instead of spending money on fixing the old one that looks totally dated, I want to change it to a LCD/LED display cluster...
how possible is this?
is there a product out there anyone knows about or do I have to completely customize it?
what would I need?

It may save you a lot of money replacing it for what could be a simple fix that you can do yourself, maybe then you could sell it to fund a new project
Either way i love the ''star wars dash'' even my one year old modern company vehicle has a basic boring dash compared to my vette.

In researching I found a prosessing unit called Raspberry Pi. Its only $35 for the unit and $10 for the case... If for what ever reason it doesn't work for the application I want to use it for, I can use that system for something else
