1970 Roadrunner - again

The FAST 2.0 comes with a small computer touch screen that is used to set the system up and to let you monitor things when you're done. My son decided that he wanted to have easy access to it but he didn't want to leave it exposed all the time. It does come with a windshield suction cup mount but my son didn't feel that it would be convenient if he had to constantly pull it on and off. Despite my objection to doing it, he wanted the ashtray modified to accommodate the monitor. Because there was not enough space inside the ashtray to allow the door to close with the screen attached, I had to gut it and rebuild.

I LIKE that idea. Back when I had my 70, I had a "2 meter" amateur radio in the trunk. This was a POS called a "GE transistorized progress line."

I built a little relay control box with 4 push buttons for channel (frequency) control and hid that in the ashtray. Some people thought I was a "narc" LOL

This is the "front mount" version. Mine had been modified into the "trunk mount" version, so there was a small control head up front



I had a neon lamp on a little bracket on the antenna loading coil which would glow purple when transmitting----this was the "hi power" 80 watt version. "It impressed" the CBers LOL
