    Down right impressive. Man, I think you about put us all to shame with how fast you pulled that thing together. If you scroll to the top of the page and click Gallery, then click upload, you can upload all the pics you have to the gallery so they will be available permanently. Great work!!

    Looks good. Is that a Fox body Mustang console? How well does it fit - many mods (other than removal of tray)?

    yes it's from an 87 fox body.
    No mods it all, you don't have to remove the tray i'll put the tray later. only thing you have to do is weld the emergency brake handle if you want it! to make the mounts i used a piece of 2by4(y)

    That console is from an '87-'93. '79-'86 Mustangs had a different dash and console.

    You have to be the first person to ever install the Brazilian dash in a U.S. Maverick. Looking good!
