Those who know me well know that my interest in hacking cars goes far earlier than CarBot / MP3Car /StreetDeck and now, The Walt Disney Company.
I’ve been tinkering with my beautiful Nash Ambassador for about a decade, and in that time it’s had an engine upgrade, conversion from 6V to 12V system, added power steering, and of course, had several screens including a VGA touchscreen and a car PC navigation system installed.
I’ll be driving my nash up to the Bay Area Maker Faire (in San Mateo) for May 19th and 20th. Over the last few days my Nash has had it’s carburetor rebuilt, it’s engine steam cleaned, all the hoses repaired, and I’ll be patching all the exhaust pipes in the next week.
Make sure you come too!
