thanks BG55 - I've made a little more progress on the console, completing the lid and box liners. I still have to attach them, and mount a hinge along with a light switch/light. I plan on attaching the liners with panel adhesive and pop rivets to set the adhesive. After setting, I will grind the heads off the rivets, and use a little filler to even things out. The console will be covered in leather in the end. The console box will contain misc switches and DVR/iPhone connectors, and I have yet to clear coat the plate and wire the components to a connector. There's always more to do!
Question for everybody: do you know of a nice looking, compact hinge that would work on the rear of the console? The lid top is aligned (flush) with the console back, so I don't believe a standard piano hinge will work without the hinge showing. I do have a hinge that will work if I open the lid from the side, but I prefer to open it from the front if I can.
