console fabrication ideas

Warren,

I don't know how you feel about this one but I think it fits my buddy's interior. Its a modified Camaro center console. He made the top half the bottom is all 2nd Gen Camaro. Nothing fancy just nice and neat in my opinion it fits his ride.

I think it looks great, good proportion to the size of the seats and dash.

Just to share a little more information for you the seats are from a dodge intrepid, the upper section of the center console is made from aluminum and he had the whole thing covered.

Same console in my buddy Donnie ride. Yeah we all do the same thing some times.lol

Did they bolt them to the dash? Did they install over the carpet or fit the carpet around them?

Yes they bolted them to the dash and installed over the carpet.

Here's a few more designs I like...but design is a whole lot different than construction.

This is one I built from Masonite braced with 1x2 pine. I covered it with speaker enclosure material and glued a veneer of exotic wood I found on eBay. Not as fancy as others posted but I built it myself and was my first.

I think it looks great!. Now tell me about the emergency brake.... what is it, how is it mounted, does it connect to the stock slide bar, any pictures?
Thanks

Thanks Warren, glad you like it.
I moved the hand brake to the center to make it easier to operate. Having a stick it's nice to be able to set it when on an incline.
I have a c4 rear and the cable is one long piece and loops over the stock yoke that attaches to the handle by a short cable. The handle is attached to the tunnel with some reinforcement
