So they ship it to you with no cutouts?? $175 sounds steep for a molded piece of fiberglass???
I like his example in the tan truck though, Sweet!! ![]()

I made one from cardboard duct tape and then fiber glass and fiber bondo! Then paint or material!
Looks great and it held everything even a 10" JLA Cheers

I just built a console for my 72' that fits between my Honda Civic Buckets I got. I just used Plywood and some heavy duty screws. I'll post pics when i get it carpeted. Took about 3 hours to make. I would think you can make a console to fit your needs yourself pretty easily with basic tools. Just make a template out of Cardboard and Tape and go from there.
