Overhead console/double din stereo install
Last year I installed an aftermarket overhead console in my Suburban. But it just didn't seem to fit well. It interfered with the visors and.....Well I just wasn't very happy with the placement of the stereo in it either. The write up on it can be seen here....... Hooker Overhead Console
So I've ripped it out and have begun modifying an Original Equipment Overhead Console to fit my Kenwood Double Din into. I got the bracket and the main body through work (G.M. Dealership) Mounted the bracket..... [IMG][/IMG] Then I proceeded to cut up the front of the console...... [IMG][/IMG] Made a frame for the basket and riveted the basket into place on the console..... [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] Made up a cardboard template for the cover and the made that out of fleece and fiberglass resin. Let it harden up in the shape I needed then put it on the console and laid 2 layers of fiberglass cloth over it and let it dry. Then came the the bondo. This is where I am at after sanding.... Still need to add a little more filler to get all the little pits filled in and sanded down then it's time to paint it...... [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]
