more details for Bob and others who are interested in some of the mods.

link to LEDs used: http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Stars-83000511-02-Light-Natural/dp/B00BT0RSIM/ref=sr_1_85/187-7992578-4970638?srs=7488080011&ie=UTF8&qid=1449290690 &sr=8-85 but the same assembly with a brighter white instead of natural white might be better I noticed now that I have them in there but they are plenty bright.

heres a shot of the thumbscrew:

6mmX1.25 thread pitch and 35mm long overall with 28mm thread shaft which is slightly more than needed as you can see in the next photos.

this is the back side:

the spacer was made from 3/16" coroplast (corrugated plastic which is similar to cardboard)
taped on as you can see just to hold it to the backing plate but probably not needed since the screws clamp it altogether.

a close up of the threaded clip:

these and the dashboard screws may be a little tough to find and probably expensive but sourcing suitable alternative should be fairly easy. if anyone wants these exact parts though I think TJ Rutlands, a Ferrari Parts specialist based in GA would probably have them new or used. these screws are actually chrome plated brass.
I would use something made from stainless steel for alternative.

on the door lock actuator mount, I forgot to take a photo before I mounted it but I made it from a piece of angled steel that I cut, welded, and ground to fit but theres probably a way you could do it without a welder or even steel for that matter. if someone needs it though I can take it out and photo it though, it uses two of the actuators screws to attach to that and one you can see in the photo to attach it to the door frame but there at least 10 more other ways this could be attached Im sure.

the wiring depends on what you use for the remote. I used an autopage programmable two way car alarm and the neat thing with these is that you can also control other electronics with simple on/off or timed duration on then off with the press of a button (or two) on the remote. I use it for turning on and off the patio lighting, the headlights, the reverse lights but that may change if I decide Id rather control something else later on.

you could use a basic remote door lock kit only, that would be much easier to wire up Im sure. these kits an alarms will operate the locks without extra relays but since the GMC has aluminum construction (more resistive than steel)and longer than average wire runs I opted to use relays in this configuration for the door locks:

http://www.the12volt.com/12voltimages/actuatorrevpol.gif

the other outputs on the alarm will definitely require relays as the output is only negative 12vdc @200ma so first relay to convert that to positive and second to switch that output to a higher amp output. let me know if you need diagrams for this also.

remote start is nice also and Im looking forward to actually being able to use it.

way on down the road after this rig is fully functional I want to incorporate some of the new wifi enabled tiny computer boards to play with engine management interfaces and control mostly all the electronics including the solar and power equipment. the possibilities and tinkering times will be endless!

I can imagine components available in the future for self aware, automated driving control but that might be a little to outta control, control LOL but hey.. just about everything new today uses fly by wire (no throttle cable) or traction control, ABS so its not that far off. the google corporation is doing it now actually but a DIY kit might be a little too much for the public safety in the wrong hands.

Ive actually had dreams about waking up from sleeping while moving down the road in a self driving coach LOL!
