Anyone see the show "Are You Faster Than A Red Neck"? I saw a console just like that in one of their episodes. Can't remember which car it was on, though. You gonna stain it or cover it with material?

Reminds me of vans in the 70s.

Do not forget cup holders....

[juit 34]

why cupholders?

they always get in the way with the shift or take space, I was planing one it the lower part of the doors

So where are the pics of the finished product? I may make my own and am looking for ideas. So let me see this thing completed

Here's the one I built for my Torino. It was my first attempt but learned a few things in the process. One of the things I chose to do was go with European style cabinet hinges instead of the typical piano style hinge for the lid/armrest. Just gives it a cleaner finished I think and the lid stands open on it's own unlike with piano hinges, you have to hold the lid open.

 

The wife did the gray stitching for me.

 

All-in-all I thought it was a pretty fun project....Aside from accidentally drilling into my finger.

[rangerdoc 22]

Very nice! What kind of wood/board did you use?

[Big Secz 26]

The majority of it is built out of 1/2" MDF. I used a router and a round over bit to round off the top, front and rear edges of the sides. For the curved top panel in the very front I used quarter round to bend to follow the curve and then used 1/4" luan to cover it it because of it's pliability it's able to bend without cracking or breaking. I also added accent stitching along the leading edge of the cup holder and iPod docking areas.

You know, when you spend 1 year in the desert, working your @ss off every single day, 365 days in a row, well, once you get back home, they give you a little slack because they know they are sending you out again next year! :biggrin:

 

Nothing wrong with this, IMO.
