ChuckE no problem. I do not get upset to much about some things. Some things I fire off like a Win 300 Mag. but, as I get older less and less. Usually only if friends are attacked and not myself. Thanks for Your Kindness and You also tower. Thing is if You make me a friend I'm a friend for life and can be trusted without exception until You break that trust. I Love to take time and drive or fly to see people who are My friends and maybe never layed eyes on them. I have several trips planned this year if the people i have in mind would want me to fly to see them and spend just a day or 2 not to wear out My welcome. I;m hoping to go to MOAB this fall with a grup that is going. i want to go and ride with someone so i can learn as by sprning I will have a offroader to take to MOAB. As many have learned here I'm a character and as a very good friend on this site said to Me when We first began to email each other "Well to be successful you have to have a presence and Rick you certainly have that." I Love Him like a brother and have never laid eyes on him because of all the private emails We have. If a person wants to become My friend, share in My Faith or tolerate it and ask for My email in a PM. I have never met a person i consider a stranger. Usually those who get to know me figure out I'm much smarter than I let on and I Love to learn whether it is from a 80 year old or a 15 year old. Learning is finding out about something You have not heard and not about Who it came from.
If a friend needs Me I will stop everything I'm doing and if within My power will come to help and not to stand around looking and wishing you the best or scratching My head saying wish there was something i could do. I will have already figured out if there is something or what i could do. Again thanks ChuckE and tower.
I spent alot of time today with what is considered the 2nd best Corvette guy in Arkansas and He had Me call the best. I left a message and His secretary told Me to keep calling as he moves around to the different Dealers looking after all the service dept.
BlownZ06 has made allot of head way and waiting on me to decide which way to go. I owe Him an email. I did find out today from a guy waiting to get His Vette out of service that he knows of a real nice HUD that will fit anything and He is going to email the name. He is into road racing and seemed quite knowledgeable.
But BlOWNZ06 has really jumped ahead in progress much faster than i thought could be done. He ahs raised My respect level for this guy and i recommend You get to now Him.
I did talk to the head Hummer tech and He is very respected and does all custom work and is working on My rig doing some one of stuff the dealer offered to do. There is an understanding that he works on My rig or I'll wait and schedule when he can. He as well as dealer understand the step I'm taking as well as the risk of putting on the SC but, it is needed for show, They agree. He says He is fairly sure that a scantool cable with the class 2 serial feed to projector should work with a switch in line so i can turn it off but, he is not sure because he has not ever done it or thought about it until I asked. He said he will give it more thought. The Vette tech thinks the same but, that it may have to tie into the PCM with a cable to the projector. If someone could help with finding the feed wires fomr diagnostic port or PCM it wuld be greatly appreciated. This info could speed it up more. i want to read all i can not just tach, speed but, water temp, oil pressure, fuel, charging, well youget the idea. Projector is 2" deep and about 8" square so he said it could be cut into dash. I have a guy that builds custom dash and console all the time and he said he could build something above the dash that would look good and not get in the view. BLOWNZ06 thinks he can come up with something more seemless so that is the way i may go. We have projector lined up and cluster but, waiting on the Dealer Rep to call Me with info before We decide which way to go. Depending on what happens the cluster and projector may be for sell at a price you will be shocked as i have no ententions fo reseling it for a profit so, again speak up with a PM if You want to be considered for that very good deal. First come first severe on the equip. I did talk to a Vette guy who has a complete HUD retofit write up for Vette's 97 to 98 and another for 99 and up. I have seen them and in great detail with pics and He does not sell the equip. You would have to find that Yourself and BLOWNZ06 has found a place that He saved Me $250 and it is from a local guy he knows so, he could be Your source to get cluster and projector. The guy in Tampa furnishes the conversion info for free and i have the web address where it can be found free. What he did do is build a cable that GM does not sell to make it work and gets $45 for it or I think he has in there how to build it. I saw the cable and it looks to be more trouble than worth it so, if i were You i'd buy the cable. It seems he is just a Vette guy helping Vette guys and not interested in making money, He has other business. He may have stuff to sell but, did not mentioned to me when i asked if He had just a projector to sell. It is worth that just for the install direction. You would be amazed the detail of install. Looks like something Jonahs would do and We all know how indepth He gets. If anyone wants it I will go back and find the contact and get it to You for Your Vette. Well as usually I got off track but, i felt this important for the Vette owners who would like to retofit their rides .
He said that the projector can display straight onto any window with no gimicks. it is a very little bit lighter in daylight nothing to worry about but, at night normal. He said there are some products You can use for day help but, He feels it is not needed. He is in Tampa FL.
Well let Me know if You want info before i go back and dig it up but, would be more than happy to do it.
GMAIL is
