I'm looking for a center console for my 65 coupe. I've searched previous posts but couldn't find any finished examples. I wanted something like the humphugger console but full length running right up to the dash. I'm planning on putting in electric windows and wanted to mount the switches on the console as well as a cupholder or two. I'm sure this doesn't exist so I'll probably have to make my own. I also have an aftermarket shifter which is why i want it to run up to the dash so that it doesn't stand out so much.

Does anyone have any pics or ideas on this? I figure i can build one and wrap it in white vinyl to match my seats. which is another question. anybody know where to buy vinyl to match?

Here are some pics of my interior now except for the new shifter which is not on these pics.

I use one of these in my '70, and it goes all the way to the center section of my dash (though, my dash is considerably different from yours):

Mustangs Unlimited - The Premier Source for Mustang, Shelby and Cougar Parts and Accessories

Mine is black, and I use a black leather shift boot to cover up the '98 Mustang automatic shifter I'm using

Thanks MRFixit!! That's exactly what I was looking for. It looks like the company can make it to your specs which is nice. I'm gonna order one this week.
