The whole dash looks like a kludge and a death trap in any sort of collision.
i second that….
It’s gonna come to any collision.
The driver will zapped to death by just turning on the ignition.
This person sure got the “hookup” for the right price.
This might actually look right … if the rest of the dash wasn’t missing.
I completely agree. It just looks like the dash was removed. Otherwise, everything is in its proper place.
I”m not familiar with that Dashboard Confessional song. Is it off their latest album?
I can’t tell what is supposed to be there and what isn’t.
The cup holders are missing.
No wonder why Fritz Henderson resigned from GM!
So, GM is no longer on the ‘Fritz’? (laughs loud & slaps knee. realizes not that funny)
And to top it off, it seems that the driver took the picture while driving at 30 mph. what car is that
I think it’s a Mopar.
Should read “I’m not an HVAC installer” (thats the climate control)
Shot the photo going 30MPH.
Is that an 8-track player?!
No, actually. It’s the heater and a/c control.
um, no; look closely, and you’ll see it’s the heating/cooling controls. only sounds are the voices in the drivers head. the budget was used up on the fancy steering wheel cover. the red light on the dash is the warning for exposed metal edges.
I thought it was the airbag waring light.
good use of metal strapping to keep the ducting and controls in place. i’m surprised to see a key in the ignition. i guess they misplaced their screwdriver. the only audio in this vehicle would be the wind whistling though the open dash.
We are Borg. You will be assimilated. We’re starting with your car.
Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase “resistance is futile”….meaning this thing is so kludged up with metal strapping and exposed wires, it probably conducts electricity better than an electric chair!
So this is how electric cars would work if Tesla had succeeded? Just absorb voltage thru the air?
But not starting your car. Because we can’t.
That isn’t audio gear, its the climate control module.
Somebody’s been watching too much Back to the Future. probably under influence.
Where exactly is installed the triple flux capacitor?
But good routing cables.
This looks like the inside of my mom’s Plymouth Acclaim she used to own. She didn’t have a radio for it. And, the climate control box was about where this one is (that’s not a radio). Also, that looks like the horn button on the steering wheel, just like hers had.
Either they were driving at 30 mph when they took the picture, or the speedometer’s broken.
lets hope for the later…
yet assume the former.
Also the car seems to go at 30Mph at the time of the photo. Next project, fix speedometer?
Actually, “fixing” the speedometer was probably his first project…
It looks like the minivan of the apocalypse…now with tape deck.
Duct tape-deck?
I think it is just a normal car dashboard with the cover removed…
It has to get over 80mph before the flux capacitor kicks in.
Is this 80 mph or kph. I believe flux capacitors operate on the metric system.
The original dashboard must have been pretty ugly or he dropped his last smoke in the vent and tried to get it back!
If you mount the in-dash DVD player so well that it can’t be stolen without destroying the dashboard, then the thieves will destroy the dashboard.
Does look like a repair-in-progress, but I’m wondering what those large chrome hooks are for.
Dashes? Dashes? We don’t need no stinking dashes.
What a nice steering wheel cover!
I like the two new shiny hooks, I wonder where the gun is?
this is my 94 dodge caravan. the dash was removed for the heater core replacement job. i tried to fab up a fancy one, and obviously never got around to it. the shiny metal holders are a towel bar shelf thing i found. i had more pictures but i dont know if they would all get on the same link. the speedometer is mounted with a folded up license plate, and you can tell in the other pictures how i cut apart the metal structure of the.. well i should probably just stop there. but i should mention i sold the car in this condition and it is still out there driving around to this day.
Unless the new owners did away with it by way of a cliff.
is that an iPod holder under the heater controls?
Mad Max’s new whip complete with pistol rack.
Ok Billy, in order to get her runnin you gotta first place your shotgun in this here holster. Then you gotta make sure the heater switch is as high as it goes. Now this part gets tricky. You have to switch the a/c back and forth between high and low while simultaneously hitting the gas and turning the ignition. Also make sure this alarm switch/garage opener is blinking. Don’t ask my why, it just works. The a/c doesn’t actually work so you get hot you know what to do. If all else fails, dump her in the river.
Than this IS my old Plymouth Horizon!
looks like that radio was originally suposed to be a maillbox i see the newspaper holder
Voting booths are getting more and more difficult to use…
Decepticon mating rituals are not for the faint of heart.
This must be the alterative to giving a thief your radio on a silver platter.
That looks familiar… I think it’s my uncle’s car…
Reminds me of the time I hit a bump at 80mph and the dashboard fell off my first car. Fecking hard to get to the side of the motorway with half a ton of plastic resting on your ankles…
half a ton of plastic eh? what in the hell are you driving? my car doesnt even weigh a ton and a half in total. 1000 pounds of plastic would be bigger than your car.
Holiday reminder: kludgers who give the gift of a screwdriver set to their children deserve what they get in return
Marty should really start locking his car, some one stole the time circuits,. AGAIN.
They are doing a custom dash… not a kludge, just an unfinished job
Is that a shotgun rack at the bottom?
Where 2 put flux capacitor?
actually, the first thing i noticed was that it isn’t a stereo to begin with. it’s heat/ac controls…
Now all we need is a flux capacitor.
So, is it me, or does he have a chromed out gun rack right in front? Protect and swerve!
Everyone know’s that is not an audio conversion, it is an AC Control installation. Pure genius.
my bad. i thought it was supposed to be a radio.
Cripes! I’ve seen tactical missiles with less wiring then this.
But wait– there’s MORE! Now the Redneck Radio comes complete with Two, count em’, TWO Official Nascar Fan Jacket Hooks!
damn now where did i leave the flux capacitor. whats the use of going back in time to find the dash if we cant find the flux capacitor
“MARTY!!! YOU’VE GOT TO COME BACK WITH ME!!! GET IN!!” “Uh, Doc, did you uh….do this yourself?” “OF COURSE! STAYED UP ALL NIGHT WITH A HUNDRED CANS OF MONSTER!” “Are you…doing okay, Doc?” “FANTASTIC!! LET’S GO!!!”
