Re: Finished my center console
That looks awesome! Good job. I was wanting to do something like that for mine but went with the tuffy lock box instead. Maybe someday I might add a center console to the lock box that extends to the dash.

Re: Finished my center console
Thanks guys the replies make me feel like i did something right ...ill post more pics of it tmoro ...its not a hard build but getting all the angles and measurements can be time consuming plus i used 1 piece of vinyl and its a ***** to stretch it around all the curves
My other project is under the knife :lol

Re: Finished my center console
Hey Sac70, guess I should be luck you don't own a 71........ I would have had to come up with a different name!
Saw you online, wanted to introduce myself. Name is Nick, live along the American and enjoy car/truck events, swap meets, etc. If you hear of any, let me know, I'll do the same. I`ll be looking for your Blazer! ![]()

Re: Finished my center console
How far back to the sides go under the dash? How did you attach it? Please know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I'll definitely be stealing your idea...

Re: Finished my center console
That really sets off that console. Good stuff. Did you change out the column? Can't tell from the pics.
