Don't forget the airhorn. Computer input needs to be wired into the horn
circuit. And the air escaping from the power steering. A position sensor
on the tie rod, for instance. And door contacts, so that when you slam the
tin, it sounds like a real truck door. The rear hatch, if so equipped, needs
to sound like the tailgate slamming down on the bumperettes. Of course, you
will remember to input the hood.
Why not build a full-size paper mache' model of a deuce, that fastens to the
roof of the Honda? A periscope would allow front vision. A small rear-facing
CCTV camera wired to a small monitor would replace the rearview mirrors.
Special lead weights can be attached to the wheels to simulate the
zero-to-45 in 37 minute acceleration.
