    My Center Console

    well this is what i've got so far. its not bolted down or anything, just laying there, there is no transmition attached to that shift boot ether :( i'm just seeing how it fits, if i'm gonna use that, where the e-brake lever goes, i may put a switch panel, and depending on how i feel that cup holder may become a cluster for few gauges. the whole thing should sit maybe a half an inch lower with carpet when its actually bolted down, glove box opens fine with that in.

    in few days i should be able to post pics with the seats i'm planning to use
    sorry for one of the pictures comming out blurry.
    so what do you guys think bout this one?

    and yes i do realize i spelled console wrong... :49:

    the shop that i work at, we have a older protege that a customer has decided not to pay the bill of the repair, and for some reason we have to keep the car, so i finally talked my boss into letting me take the center console from it, since we already stripped its radio and put it into our plow truck hehe.
    i pained it also, it used to be grey in color, i figured light tan might match the interior more

    and would a mod please fix my title, i fogot how to spell for one min.. :oops:

    Looks good. I would paint match the dash though if it were me. Thats the first radio delete plate I've seen in a post 73 car.
