Center console is finally done! Tell me what you think!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

As the title says this is a complete hand made center console. I made it out of pvc expanded foam board. I tried to make it match my rod doors interior. The lid of the console is oak with high density foam that I molded. I then bought a singer heavy duty sewing machine and stitched the vinyl. If you ever get a chance to work with the pvc board do it!!!! You can shape it with heat. Sand it, paint it, or wrap it in vinyl like I did. Super strong and light weight stuff!

That is a really nice cab. The steering wheel color makes for a nice focal point!

Looks super nice.

CG · 03-03-2018, 02:23 AM

Would like to see the build process ... is there a thread?

notsolo · 03-03-2018, 04:24 AM

WOW, you knocked that out of the park. Really nice total package, and well thought out... I built the side panels for my Blazer with pvc board, looks pretty plain compared to your work.

Keep that up and you will be on Velocity

More pics of the rest of your truck please!

Excellent work! Is the carbon fiber done with Hydrographic Dipping?

68panelman · 03-03-2018, 09:29 AM

Looks great, super work!, But.. since you asked what we think, I couldn't look at that shifter all the time like this, sticking up like a sore thumb. I get it's very race inspired, but I think it takes away all the beauty you put into the console.

Vvivid vinyl wrap!

Robznob11 · 03-03-2018, 12:13 PM

Well i can see how the shifter could be much for some.... but its works so much better than rhe b&m on the 4l80e. And as noted it is perfect for the race theme of the truck.

CANUCIT · 03-03-2018, 09:52 AM

very nice

OregonNed · 03-03-2018, 12:07 PM

It looks
Outstanding!

gvw5400 · 03-03-2018, 03:45 PM

Great work on the console!
Love the gages and lighted cupholders.
One question, how can you drive that sweet truck without trying to hold a travel mug of coffee between your legs?. Nice work!
All the best,
Dirk

**Steeveedee** · 03-03-2018, 04:37 PM

That's mighty fine work! I need to keep the bench, so I'll never do this, though.

**70cst** · 03-03-2018, 05:12 PM

That is hand crafted art my friend

**Speedracer39** · 03-03-2018, 05:48 PM

Great job on the console it looks killer as well as the rest of the truck.

Jim Boy · 03-03-2018, 07:54 PM

One word excellent! One question; What is the wing span on that sucker eh? Have a good one.

Haru · 03-04-2018, 03:53 PM
