Hey everyone, I just finished most of my center console project. I've still got to paint the sheet metal to match the dash and then install it. Here are the pics so far, I stole the color matched metal idea from ackattack. I hope you don't mind! Here's some shots of mine and one of his from another post so you get an idea.

Nice looking job

lukecp · 10-20-2003, 05:37 PM

Looks good!!!

Would be the perfect place for a ratchet shifter and some speakers

Great job! I love custom stuff! Don't get me wrong...stock is cool too, but I always appreciate a nice custom idea! More pics when you get the rest done!!

im actually gonna be doing the same thing those two did soon i think im going to use the buckets out of a 95 or so chevy pickup and mount a ratchet shifter on the console so i can actually reach it but for now im stuck with the column shift. also going to make the high part between the seats on a hinge so i can put my blue bottle in there

Hotrod70C10 · 10-20-2003, 05:43 PM

Thanks for the compliments!

Yellow72custom, I'm still thinking about the ratchet shifter, not too sure about it yet. The speakers are a good idea but, for now the kick panel pods that I carpeted over will work...

1970blazin, I think most of us are the same way... well except CPNE... lol

I will get some more pics after I get the sheet metal installed it might be a while though.

So you are "bottle feeding" your truck now?

KP1972 · 10-20-2003, 07:25 PM

Does anyone else have pics of a console???? I have a bench seat and am trying to build a miniconsole to put speakers on each side to avoid the kick panel kind since I have vents and my Fire extinguisher is mounted on the right kick panel.
Any pics or suggestions will be welcomed!!!!

cableguy0 · 10-20-2003, 07:56 PM

no its not bottle fed yet but it will be as soon as i have a nice hidden place to put it. and i got some other things to take care of first like gears to get that beast outta the hole a lil quicker the 3.07's just dont cut it
