Built a new console for my 66. took about a month, think it turned out ok!! Started with cardboard template, then to wood, fiber glassed the whole thing.Days of sanding to get it ready for paint and clear coat.

Looks good :thumbs: I like it. Lots of work there!

Where did you find the aluminum cup holders?

Re: Built a new console
 

That came together really nice. Can you actually disengage from park with a drink in the cupholder, or does it hit your knuckles?

Looks great nice job.

Tons of room on the shiftier, and the cup holders came from Summit.The fiber glass can be a pain, if you haven't worked with it before.Biggest problem is the curves and angles,need to mix the resin right to have plenty of time to work, before it start's to harden.

I thought about making a glove box there, but I'm think in the future it will be a nice place for a 10" sub for the stereo.!! :metal: Thanks all , for the kind comments.

I was inspired! I'm nearly finished with mine, some minor tweaks to make, but here are some pics.

kids wanted power in the back seat for their electronics, so I added 5 USB ports, and 2 plugs for computers, game console, etc.

Any chance you have the measurements for the wood around still? I've been looking to do exactly this for my truck.

Re: Built a new console
 

I used cardboard as a pattern , to shape and the get the contour's I wanted ,then used the cardboard pattern to lay out the wood.
