I'm back! - What have you done?

The company in Vancouver, ACS Composites,
http://www.acscomposites.com/
did all the fiberglass work, that's their business.
I supplied 2 boards, one with uC + shift registers, the 2nd board the same less the uC, and did the programming for the non-multiplexed display. The lights are 12V automotive LEDs with current limit resistors, this kind of part

mounted on a panel behind the display face.
