Looks great. Are you actually doing that much photo editing?

Yes, I have to do all of my editing. From a typical 800ish images from the average assignment, I'll pare it down to a dozen or so, crop them and color correct them and send them off to NY or DC. I archive all of my pictures, "keepers" or not. It's a pretty detailed workflow.

:lol:
Since I didn't have most of the tools, a radio shop helped me out but we both did it and got it all done in one day. I did all of the planning and we just knocked it out once I had all the pieces of the puzzle put together.

How do you find the laptop holds up in the car, I notice it looks like a regular laptop and not a toughbook.

I'm guessing the computer will be in the car, maximum on average, three times a month, and stored in a cool dry place for all the other times. The netbook serves a specific purpose and so it doesn't need to be a Toughbook. Too much money for something that I will rarely use.

Materials used

In this mobile installs, I'm seeing the black metal material used. Where do you get this? Is it pre-cut, you cut it yourself?

They are console's designed specifically for a certain make/model of car. Jotto Desk and Havis Shields are two manufacturers of them. I picked mine up on the used market for $75, brand new they can be pretty expensive.
