Re: Yet another GMC build

The console was formed over stacked 1/2” insulation board that was covered with dry erase board and the seams were taped with aluminum tape, them covered with painters plastic. I built the storage area from stacked wood rings because it just seemed easier. I still need to make a lid.

The speaker pods, I used wood because it was fast and easy, but also because I thought of a decent way to mount them without visible fasteners. I used some brass inserts that require a 3/8 hole, thread into the wood, then you have a 1/4-20 bolt hole accessed from inside the door. That will also help hold the door panel once installed. They don’t weigh much and all the weight is close to the hinges so it shouldnt be like my old trans am doors that you had to lift to shut. I’ll have to check out those links.
