Re: Built a new console
That came together really nice. Can you actually disengage from park with a drink in the cupholder, or does it hit your knuckles?

Re: Built a new console
Tons of room on the shiftier, and the cup holders came from Summit.The fiber glass can be a pain, if you haven't worked with it before.Biggest problem is the curves and angles,need to mix the resin right to have plenty of time to work, before it start's to harden.

Re: Built a new console
Really nice looking job but; There is a lot of airspace underneath that I think I would of added a sliding pocket and had some room for odds and ends !! Other then that it really looks good !!!

Re: Built a new console
I thought about making a glove box there, but I'm think in the future it will be a nice place for a 10" sub for the stereo.!!

Re: Built a new console
I was inspired! I'm nearly finished with mine, some minor tweaks to make, but here are some pics.
kids wanted power in the back seat for their electronics, so I added 5 USB ports, and 2 plugs for computers, game console, etc. |

Re: Built a new console
Any chance you have the measurements for the wood around still? I've been looking to do exactly this for my truck.

Re: Built a new console
I used cardboard as a pattern , to shape and the get the contour's I wanted ,then used the cardboard pattern to lay out the wood.
