So down here in Charlotte - there is the Food Lion Autofair car show that occurred this weekend.

I got the car back from the body shop about 2 weeks ago and got the new rear tires mounted.

So I spend the last week getting the car all cleaned up - wash/wax/full detail/etc.

I wanted to make the car stand out - so I ended up making a display for it.

After shopping around on the internet - I wasn't going to sped 200 bucks for a flimsy piece of crap plastic unit that wouldn't fit my needs.

I wanted something that I could mount my 10" Motorola Xoom tablet too. I created a video with some of the screen caps of my build - and some of the videos that I've shot with the GoPro over the last couple of years.

So after some thought an design - I tracked down some diamond plate sheet @ Lowe's.

I picked up a jig saw, some metal cutting blades, some aluminum c-channel, and some cap screws and got to work:





Not shown in the pics is the 2x4 that I mounted in the middle of the back of the display to reinforce it.

Sad thing is that I took so much time cleaning up the car and taking pictures of other peoples cars - that I never got a picture of it @ the show this weekend!

Heres the link to the rest of my pics, and a select few chosen pics:
