Custom Console

Post by FireKraka »

Hi Guys;
Does anybody know of someone that can make custom consoles that is not going to cost me one of my grand children it is for my FC Sedan and basically a commodore console but needs to be longer.
Any advice appreciated.

Have a look in V8EK4US build as somewhere Gary put the dimensions of his console on there for me I changed it a little and it wasn't hard to build happy with how it turned out it may suit you .Give me a yell if you need any more information.

If you can handle a jigsaw, drill and screwdriver you can make your own.

I'd like to thank Paul (Chopped) for the original template and assistance in coming up with a console for my FC Sedan I ended up varying his intial design because I just couldn't do it as good as he had thought of it so this is how it has turned out. I am still not happy with 1 or 2 little things that I have to tweek but I don't really ever want to take it on again.

Again Paul thanks for the help in getting started I think this is why we are members of these forums.
