Looking at the Concept T off-roader specifications, I notice it has a head-up display, or HUD as it's known to its friends.
Has anyone tried to do something like a DIY HUD, e.g. if I mount and LCD tachometer on the dash facing me, then a mirror facing back to the windscreen, will I be able to read the RPM off the windscreen? In daylight? At night? Does the windscreen need some sort of coating?
t.i.a.

Normally the glass has a special coating. A mate had a Skyline and broke his windscreen. Cost him $$$2400 for a new one!!!The next one he broke he just put a normal screen in and didn't worry about the display. It was not covered by insurance.:jesus

Yikes! That's more than my budget for the whole front half of the truck...

This would be good in combination with a multi-function (gaming) steering wheel - space invaders with left-right and fire thumb buttons on the wheel...

What about just a wheel mounted firing button connected to concealed twin Brownings... Or, a wheel mounted firing button connected to the seat bottom so you could light farts... :bounce

You can get a kit from the US, instead of being projected on to the front screen you get what I first thought was just a clear plastic screen, but having read this thread I now know it is coated with something a little special.
The typical thing is I can't remember where I saw it......

Thanks Rob,
It's useful to at least know that there are materials available, I can always search the net for them.
Bobbles,
the same day I saw your post I also saw a silver, convertible Aston DB-6 at the stop lights and wondered if it had Brownings.
