Radio-Man's 1985 Plymouth Colt

 Here is a better shot of the graphics on the driver's door --

 This is some of the equipment. This includes HAM (amateur) radios, police scanners, visual units (to send still pictures over the air) and other assorted doo-dads!

From the driver's seat, I can access an array of HAM radios and receivers --

Above is the main navigation system for the car. It's GPS-based system can plot received HAM stations on the display as well as transmit it's own coordinates to others (cool, huh?).

The interior is grey with YELLOW and ORANGE trim (to match the outside paint details).

I wanted something unique for the headliner of the Colt-DL!

In the back seat, a 12-inch Bazooka subwoofer, a printer for the computer, and various radios. I also keep the switches for the hydrallic system when I'm not using it.

  In the trunk area, the hydrallic pumps, accumulators (for a cushy ride) and 4 batteries!

A Hp laptop helps me to control some of the radios and keep everything organized.

A pair of Autometer guages helps me to monitor my energy consumption.
