Hey guys,
I have never hosted one of these before, and a lot of people have been asking me for more info + doing the DIY with them, and even doing it for them
So I got some time on feb 11th, 12th, 13th to do this with people. Everyone is welcome to join. It should take about a days worth of work 6+ hours maybe to complete the full console and climate control units. It would be best to meet on the 11th as we can all stop by and get the required parts so that there is no confusion on voltage ratings and resistor values.
Give me a shout on what you guys think, if there is going to be a large turnout, then I might try to find a small venue to get people to stay in while we work (at the cost of a small fee)
last little note. If people want to move the date over more to the 19th+ then I will set a meet that will accomidate the majority of people.
Enjoy Guys !

i really dont think you would want to be soldering outside :/ with wind and dust and all, its a little out of the ordinary. resistors weigh like 0.001 grams.. so i think you would loose a lot of parts

it will be guages, center, window, mirror, cruise, ect. EVERYTHING 
and if you have a stock deck, I can attempt that, i havn't tried it yet but it shouldn't be too hard.
send me PM to telly for details, we should have everything outlined by tomorrow night.

does friday count as a weekend day :/
Price wise... wait a little, telly and I are trying to work something out that will work for everyone that DOESNT want to do it them selves, but have us do it for them, and a price for assistance along the way or maybe no price for those people. We have to see what the turn out is going to be because this isn't a small air freshener install.
