Slightly Off-topic - DC-9/MD80 glass

Seeing the ABX references above reminded me of a ca. 1992 visit to ILN and the ABX shop. They had acquired DC-9's from many operators and were stripping them for cargo container use. One was getting a belly reskinning - they weren't messing around.

One DC-9 was getting a prototype glass-cockpit conversion, an attempt to increase reliability and reduce operating costs. What happened to this project?
