To Do list and some progress

So here is the deal...

I installed XP sp3 on the jetway last night. runs great. tried putting minlogon on it, no dice. i have to disable windows file protection, will do that this evening. im creating an nlite install to reinstall a smaller footprint to fit on my flash drive. i will take all unneccesary drivers out and throw in the drivers i need as well as take out features that are unneeded.

As far as fabrication goes... im going to order a double din dash kit along with a bybyte 629 housing. Bybyte says that an ABS version that doesnt require the double stick tape will be out by the end of October. I opted to not create the dash because the abs i was working with warped a bit and it just didnt seem to want to work like i wanted it to. So that gives me plenty of time to do all of the other work. Which is this list:

TO DO:

Software:
nLite XP sp3
Install nLite XP sp3
configure minlogon (done) and EWF
configure boot skin
depending on boot time configure shell to load front end
install roadrunner and gps (delorme)

Hardware:
finish fiberglassing sub box
mount motherboard and peripherals to rack
create amp case for trunk floor
bring power to back
bring monitor and usb to back
wire amps up
replace door 6.5"

It's been a month

and nothing new has happened. I got my RMA'd mobo back. I was moving along pretty well with the fascia plate, but alas, god hath not mercy on me. I left it out in my shop for the month and it became a different shape. warped. so i guess it was better it happening in the shop then in the car with my screen attached to it. so what now?

i'm probably going to buy the actual fascia kit and either make it myself out of the screen bezel or solicit someone (nexson, turbocad) to do it for me. Or I might front panel express it and use anodized aluminum. It would only cost about 30bucks to do that. where as buying the fascia, and having someone make it would be about $250.

also, i have plans to move to london now. which means i must sell my car. so is this work really worth it? maybe... we'll find out.
