I got  the diamond plate for free, and it also covers both sides of the cab as well.



The majority of my expenses came from having the control panel, bezel, and other various metal parts fabricated and profesionaly painted. I started about a year ago and lost track of how much I spent on the whole thing, but it's somewhere in the range of $1500 - $2000. I am still waiting on anouther i-pac because the one I bought last summer is not working properly.

The monitor is 19".
