next to the shifter a place for your cd's or another storage place or even a place to hide your sneaky pete nitrous bottles? thats my .02 cents worth.

Do you have a side view of it. I'd love to build one for my 68. What material did you build it from

Thanks I want to put one in my 68 pickup. I'm just not sure what to make it from. I was thinking maybe some aluminum, or wood and then carpet it

After you carpet it up, put a badge of whatever the truck is on it.

in addition to Randy's suggestion, I'd say a mini cooler at the backspo you can refill those emties quick.
You work looks real good. I stink at wood work. I have trouble with the straight lines, let alonesomething like what you did. Good Show!

I plan on putting two AC Vents in mine as well as speakers in the foot area. Maybe even my heater/AC controls to completely smooth my dash.

Looks good! I think making the sides two tone to match your seats and softening the transition from the top to the sides. I just don't know what the best way to do that would be. What kinda shifter did you use?

I bet since he lives in Arizona he doesn't use his heater much. You could put some vents in the side if you did use the heater.

What seat covers are you using?I was thinking of ordering wet oakles in yellow and black for my yellow blazer.AS far as the console goes it is cool.I have a full console similar in design in my suburbon.It blows plenty of heat to keep you feet warm.
