Russell · 09-29-2003, 12:37 AM

First off, that is a sweet deck, I'm looking at buying the MP3 version...

Secondly, Nice job!! That looks very slick!

C-10volvo · 09-29-2003, 12:42 AM

thats what i have. its the mp3 wmp file player. i love it!!

Russell · 09-29-2003, 01:11 AM

Yeah, I've got hundreds of legally made MP3s (either my sister or myself bought the CDs) and I would much rather carry four MP3 CDs rather than drag a case of a dozen or so CDs...

gldevall · 09-29-2003, 08:27 AM

Looks good!

Prerunner1982 · 09-29-2003, 12:56 PM

looks better than the one i made....

gldevall · 09-29-2003, 01:09 PM

Is it bolted to the floor or is it just sitting there?

C-10volvo · 09-29-2003, 01:20 PM

i have a weak 305. i hope that answers your question... but i did take it for a rather agressive test drive and it didnt move

Prerunner1982 · 09-29-2003, 05:52 PM

it shouldnt need to be bolted down, if its sits on the hump right it wont move.

79BIG10 · 09-29-2003, 05:57 PM

Looks real good. Did you follow Mike's plans on it? I may need a console like that soon if something works out

79Chevypickup · 09-29-2003, 06:09 PM

Do you remember all the measurements and stuff?
How much did it cost you, about?
I would love to do something like that!!

Looks real good!!
Good job!!

C-10volvo · 09-29-2003, 06:15 PM

i took mikes plans, and made them fit for a bench seat. all together it was about 50$ and a days worth of work

Prerunner1982 · 09-29-2003, 06:18 PM

i should have followed his plans and put my CB in, instead of the radio. but i didnt, oh well you learn. i guess next time i will take more time and measurements on mine, but without the proper tools and shop i was limited. C-10volvo... good job man.

*Zilverado* · 09-29-2003, 06:19 PM

Great job. I think I just might need to try that one of these days when I get some free time...

79Chevypickup · 09-29-2003, 06:21 PM

Please tell me,

thank you

Lynx · 09-30-2003, 12:04 AM

I want to make one of those and probably could but it seems like whenever i get realy geard up to make one i have to carry 2 passengers around and realize i need the extra space....

Low87 · 09-30-2003, 09:12 AM

Looks nice!

Prerunner1982 · 09-30-2003, 10:03 AM

Lynx, you still can. myself, my wife and my 2 yrd old (with carseat) ride in my truck with a floor console, my wife rides in the middle, 100% of the time reguardless if our daughter is with us or not. the middle person just has to straddle the console.

Lynx · 09-30-2003, 12:19 PM

Yeah i supose i still could.... im always wishing i had a cup holder! well i guess its another thing to add to the list! btw my list is getting huge!

LOHRTBT · 09-30-2003, 12:47 PM

Looks very clean!

I like that.
