Aussie VC 67 Dodge ute

While this console was built for my 1967 VC Dodge it will fit any early A body.....so here's how I build a $3,800 console!

these are my mounting brackets set to centre of the car...I use 3mm MDF mounted to the side of the braket to make a faulse wall for the carpet to go up and under the console when installed

next I construct the main pocket/armrest....I use 140mm wide 19mm pine for the uprights & 3mm MDF for the sides

base board marked out and main uprights to show the hights of the different sections

the sides are cut from two layers of 3mm MDF each side so they can be formed to the shape of the base board

a ring is made to fit inside the console as a tray for sunglasses, phones etc. every components must be made allowing for the multipul layers of vinyl the covers each section...
@ 1mm or more it mounts up, there are 8 layers in the rear compartment to allow for!

once the top has rounded corners routed and a base plate screwed for underneath it can be temporarily sat in place
