Today I finished up the wiring and cable routing to fully integrate the
display into the Westy.  The wiring is all hidden, so I can hook up the
laptop just by plugging the HDMI cable into a jack in the Westy's
cabinetry.  And I made an easier way to secure and protect the display
when traveling.

I added those details and photos to the project page, starting here:

What a fun project!  I hit a few bumps, but some friends helped me stick
to it and finish it up.  (Well, there's a long list of stuff still to do
at the end of the page.)

Oh, and while this was going on, I had the rear CV joints replaced!  It
has been an interesting couple of months.
