Any home-made consoles out there? Looking for any ideas on them as I pulled the stock one out of my 86 FSB the other day.
I just don't think it really serves the purpose. Too large, taking up too much space and the inside has no dividers so everything ends up in a mess.
Drink holders are too short. Plastic is cracking on the sides anyway.

I was going to build one of my rig. I decided to wait till I figure out my cage first. I plan on building mine out of .060 aluminum. I want to add a DIN mount for my CB, enclose my shifter, and of coarse a cup holder. My plans for the cage include a spreader bar to cross the floor pan to mount my seats and belts to. So I will have to work around some tubing.

When you get it perfected make two of em Clint, I'll take one. I never have figured why Ford made them so short!

Do you want Oak or maybe some Birdseye Maple Ron?lol
I hope to have my tablesaw uncovered next week from all of the autoparts and greasy rags. lol
Then I have a bit of warranty work on mom's cabinets before I start messing with the console. Once I have something designed I'll shoot you a drawing

Shoot me a drawing? What for? LOL
If it's good enough to go in your truck I know I'll be happy with it. I'm serious, build us both one and I'll pay for all the wood and supplies. Just make it tall enough I can rest my arm on it.
