new center console

[justpball]

this weekend did some work on the interior of the burb, picked up a custom console from a buddy for 20 bucks! moved the radio to the console and put some tweets in my upper console, this thing sounds great now! And yes I am going to paint the console...LOL I am going to 2-tone it and put the skull stripe down the middle.

Very cool! And I like the green, but not in yours.lol! I like to see it after you get it all painted..

[SBTork]

that will look awesome all painted up. If you need to donate your old one to a good cause, I can be that good cause.

[BLE 'BURBAN]

man I wish i'd have thought of putting my tweeters in my overhead console!!! I ended up putting mine in my "A" pillars and what a P.I.T.A. that was.

[justpball]

yours look good though!!! SBTork i had already cut holes in my old console for the 5 1/4s one in the front and one in the rear, and it had one crack on the backside near the hinge...so it is toast...kinda...lol. i will post some pics and if you want it pay shippping and it is yours

[justpball]

Got the base coat done, still got to put the skulls in there...

Looks alot better now. Like the color combo, really reflects your burb's exterior.

the sides look like 1/2 or 3/4 inch plywood......now for the top....you can get kerfed plywood....i have forgotten the brand name...check at woodworker supply businesses.....about a 1/4 in thick....it will bend in that contour....it only bends in one direction....but with a console like Justpball's it only bends in on direction so that stuff would work..... cut sides to shape....staple or nail bending plywood to the sides..... then lay up fiberglass over the 1/4 in material.....bondo prime and paint to match.....there you have it...i hope this helps

quick addition....the price of the 3/8 bendable plywood is around 45.00 dollars a sheet.....you can get it where it bends in the 8 foot direction or the 4 foot direction....this is from wurth products in the charlotte nc area....i feel sure you can find it closer to home....there's all the news that's fit for print...have a nice day!

you could also use wood veneers they are usually less than a 1/4 inch thick and are very bendable. If you buy a pine veneer it will most likely be cheaper than lets say oak or maple.

HOLY S#!T man.... that is SICK... awesome job!!!!

[justpball]

will do MI2CHEVYS...LOL
texasfunk, looks like they used a thin piece of plywood and formed it to the top and then slicked it out with sandable primer or something like that, just a very thin coat...they may have wiped some putty on it...


thanks guys, here is a couple pics installed

Center console looks wicked, but now you're gonna have to paint the lower dash area to match. It's a never ending process .

[justpball]

already got it planned...lol you are right

[68Timber]

That truck just keeps getting better...

Love the dash skin, that is insane! Does your 4x4 Burb get any love?

[justpball]

LOL not much these days...i just drive the piss out of it...LOL
