Chelby-Ann 47 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 Was not happy with the first or second version of my CCC, so I took some lessons learned and fabbed a new one this weekend. Bought some 4 way stretch vinyl, professional grade contact adhesive and some black felt for the center glove box. Lessons learned from the first one, use the right or best adhesive. Buy vinyl that stretch's better around curves. The standard 2 way stretch not so good for custom work. Should have it completed and installed this weekend. I hope to be happier with this version. The panels get screwed to the square rails. Parking brake in the CCC along with a USB/AUX jack. I will post pix when I'm done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantedvalve 128 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 Excellent work. What is that weathered (sounded better than rusty... at least in my head) bracket about halfway down? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelby-Ann 47 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 That's from a junkyard mustang center console bracket I modified to mount the console to the tunnel. Wanna say it was a 98 but can't be for sure. It's been awhile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danno 128 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 This is fun to see what others are doing. I wish I had the time, I would be there doing the same. You gotta be creative! I cant wait to see it. It reminds me of Bigmal in Australia changing his Mach 1 to right hand side drive. What a project that was. But the smaller ones are just as interesting, go for it!. 1 bigmal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted November 17, 2017 Wow, nice woodworking...... But....you gotta love the console and the contact cement on the dining room table, next to the salad dressing.... You rock! So does your family. It is amazing what they get used to with having a car guy in the house... After the carburetor re-build on the kitchen table, I thought I was in trouble. The real trouble started with the low mileage wire wheel hubcaps in the dishwasher..... oops.... Or the dirty red shop cloths in the washing machine, or..... 2 Chelby-Ann and Mike65 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chelby-Ann 47 Report post Posted November 19, 2017 11/20/2017 CCC UPDATE They say the 3rd times a charm. Well I agree. Very happy with my newly designed center console. One thing I could not do was incorporate some cup holders into the existing frame work, so Mich'l, my beautiful wife and I brainstormed a bit and she came up with the cup holder design you see in the photos. Great idea!! No more cold water bottles between the legs on long cruses. The cup holder fits snug enough yet can be put away during car shows. The 4 way stretch vinyl was easy to work with and the adhesive the real deal. She's already for next weekends AmeriCarna Live Car Show in North Carolina. Last car show for the year for me. 2 unilec and Shep69 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unilec 57 Report post Posted November 20, 2017 Really beautiful job, love the drink holders too. So the center bracket you installed is that all you need to hold the console in place? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigmal 225 Report post Posted November 20, 2017 That's great. Really love the cup holders. For a moment I thought you were working on the bed. That would cause some serious problems at my house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted November 20, 2017 Nice job! I really like the finish and the texture of the material you used. I should be at Americana. I live up on Lake Norman and usually go every year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
