another custom console
this console is for a 67 Dodge ute...while they didn't come out in the US it's basicly the same floor as any 67 Mopar....
I started with a 1/4" MDF base cut to the shape I wanted....I then cut pieces of 3/4" pine to use as the uprights for the different sections
I constructed a box with removeable sides to fit inside the rear of the console....each section can be covered then reassembled...it's important to allow for the thickness of the material used as it realy adds up....best to make the box and cover it first then make the outer part to fit....
this is the basic outer part made...there will be a pocket in the front section with a lid....an open cavity next back...this will be modified later for a shifter once the ute is converted to V8 auto....then a large pocket at the rear covered by the padded lid
that's about it for the first post...being called for breakfast!!
