Here are the results, luckily the 'stang had an extra din slot for the old '00 radio that was replaced awhile back. I bought a 7"TFT of ebay for ~$30 here. I am currently looking into purchasing a digitizer for it (touch screen.)
So here we go:
In Figure 1 notice the radio in Din 3. (Counting the vents as Din 1.)

This allowed me to mount the stand for the screen. Figure 4 Also note the radio is now in Din4.

Through the whole process I only lost one important bolt, I call that a win. Despite the fact it was for mounting the screen. :/
So.....let me know what you think. As always if your interested in the project follow this blog, add me to your circles, or follow github.
Just for fun in-progress photos:

Soon I will be adding Bluetooth support to the UI. I also fixed that pesky UI update issue by utilizing a QThread.
