71monty Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Since I'm going semi-custom on my interior (Custom Seats) I decided to try making a custom center console. [/url] Still working on it but it's coming along pretty good for me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballubet Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I like it. Do you have a floor shifter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTNMonte Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Jeff, that is looking very good. Keep posting pictures. I'm going to do a custom console in my 72 also, I've got bucket seats from a 06 Monte that I'm going to install in mine. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 That's coming along well. I like it. Some thoughts: keep a raised edge around the sides to keep your stuff from sliding away in the corners. A drink holder is a handy thing. I chose a fabric that Velcro will semi-grab; a small patch of Velcro on the back of my I-pod and phone keep them where I put them. I did a somewhat similar console thing, but my main goal was to have it be an enclosure for my subwoofer. My console extends further back and is wider in the rear to do just that. The audio is much better this way than trying to blast sound through the back seat from the trunk. I also didn't want it to interfere with the heater ducting, so it stops short in the front. On long drives, I wish I had an armrest as well. In this pic, I have a cheapo drink holder sitting on top...handy, but not pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
