    Well this is my fifth one. I think I might have it now. Just need to get it to the uphostery shop to get it covered to match the interior. I painted it the colors I want it covered in, just to make sure I like it. Thanks for looking.

    That looks awesome!

    However, so did number 4! What was wrong with the first 4 versions?
    What did you make them out of... I have considered the same thing.

    All were made out of wood. I took a broke up granada console and used it as a pattern to get started with on this one. I have to have cup holders and I like all the guages in the console. I don't race so I don't need the tach where I can see it at a glance. Going to take to the upholstery shop tommorrow, can't wait to see it done. Thanks for the compliments Dave.
