Hi everybody! This is my first post. I've been lurking for the past month or so just getting ideas and inspiration for my project. I wanted to share what I've been working on for my old Mustang.

I initially just wanted to replace the old, broken mechanical speedometer...but ended up with a little something more.

I haven't written up a "true" instructable, but I did post some pics and my code at:
http://www.instructables.com/id/1990-Mustang-GT-Info-Center/

The code is basically just a bunch of cut-and-paste from all over. I've tried to give credit for the sources I could remember.

The only thing I have left to do is hook up my DS18B20 temperature sensor, and play around with a suitable mounting location for the outside temp.

I'd be happy to answer any questions, comments, gripes, etc.

I liked your project! Good idea and well done!

I like it!

I had the idea for a similar project for my car a couple years back, but i knew nothing about electronics at the time and it was too big a job for me then. Glad to see it working. Good job.

Thanks for the feedback. I enjoy it every time I drive my car. I'm trying to resist the urge to replace the text LCD with a full graphic display.
