Center console is finally done! Tell me what you think!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

As the title says this is a complete hand made center console. I made it out of pvc expanded foam board. I tried to make it match my rod doors interior. The lid of the console is oak with high density foam that I molded. I then bought a singer heavy duty sewing machine and stitched the vinyl. If you ever get a chance to work with the pvc board do it!!!! You can shape it with heat. Sand it, paint it, or wrap it in vinyl like I did. Super strong and light weight stuff!

That is a really nice cab. The steering wheel color makes for a nice focal point!

Looks super nice.

CG · 03-03-2018, 02:23 AM

Would like to see the build process ... is there a thread?

notsolo · 03-03-2018, 04:24 AM

WOW, you knocked that out of the park. Really nice total package, and well thought out... I built the side panels for my Blazer with pvc board, looks pretty plain compared to your work.

**zicc1835** · 03-03-2018, 08:19 AM

wow ...super nice work

crewadmin · 03-03-2018, 09:04 AM

Keep that up and you will be on Velocity

More pics of the rest of your truck please!

Lanman1972 · 03-03-2018, 09:11 AM

Excellent work! Is the carbon fiber done with Hydrographic Dipping?

68panelman · 03-03-2018, 09:29 AM

Looks great, super work!, But.. since you asked what we think, I couldn't look at that shifter all the time like this, sticking up like a sore thumb. I get it's very race inspired, but I think it takes away all the beauty you put into the console.

CANUCIT · 03-03-2018, 09:52 AM

very nice

Vvivid vinyl wrap!

OregonNed · 03-03-2018, 12:07 PM

It looks
Outstanding!

Robznob11 · 03-03-2018, 12:13 PM

Well i can see how the shifter could be much for some.... but its works so much better than rhe b&m on the 4l80e. And as noted it is perfect for the race theme of the truck.

54blackhornet · 03-03-2018, 02:36 PM

Outstanding work I must say ! Please explain your dashboard

Its a 1961, dash out of a 2 ton truck. Shaved and wrapped

gvw5400 · 03-03-2018, 03:45 PM

Great work on the console!
Love the gages and lighted cupholders.
One question, how can you drive that sweet truck without trying to hold a travel mug of coffee between your legs?. Nice work!
All the best,
Dirk

**Steeveedee** · 03-03-2018, 04:37 PM

That's mighty fine work! I need to keep the bench, so I'll never do this, though.

**70cst** · 03-03-2018, 05:12 PM

That is hand crafted art my friend

**Speedracer39** · 03-03-2018, 05:48 PM
