Hope everything comes out great! Certainly looks as so. Please keep us updated, and thanks for posting plentiful pics!!

P.s. Nice interior!

looking good. i thought about doing this. where are you getting the material to cover it, or are you going to leave it F/G and paint it?

I really like the way it's turning out. Looks like alot of thought went into making sure it blends well with the rest of the interior. BTW, this is the first time I see the interior of your car, looks real clean!

I was going to 'glass in a 7" screen,but there really isnt a lot of room under the dash for guages and a screen,then the shifters moevment.Ill make a housing for the screen and put it over the factory radio and mount the DVD in the storage in the console.

Do you have any pictures of your car posted anywhere? Id love to see more of it!

66moneypit · Jan 13, 2006

Dude any chance you have a pattern to build that ? I am too far away to have you build me one and ship it to me. But I'd like one like that with speaker mounts.

68keyblr · Jan 13, 2006

Looks really well thought out. It'll look great in your car.

Do you think it would be difficult to build in cup holders?

About how much does it weigh? What is the thickness of the MDF?

3pedal · Jan 13, 2006

I have been thinking about building something very similar to that. it looks great, I look forward to seeing a some more shots.

I'm going to get around to building a custom console this winter, also. Please keep us updated on your progress, it looks like a great design - I'm sure I'll be stealing some of your ideas.

MDF is some heavy stuff, no doubt about that. Of course any weight gain can be compensated for with MORE POWAH!

very nice!

How do you plan on securing the counsel to the car tunnel through the carpetting. It looks great. I had thought about doing something like this bu tmaybe the hump hugger would just be a little easier

66moneypit · Jan 13, 2006

I have heard some people express disappointment in the quality of the hump huggers.... that is a good question about securing it. I would assume you could do sometype of bolt up under the dash. My question is how would I mount my automatic shifter in something like this so it looks good.
