another custom console
next step was to make the insert for the open cavity in the centre of the console.....this is the underside of it which was covered first before an 1/8 MDF base was attached
a test fit of the insert before covering....the section behind it has now been fiberglassed over
to give the sides some more shape a 1/2 piece of MDF was cut to the profile of the side and then had urathaine foam sheet hot melt glued to the main frame
the foam was shaped with a hack saw blade the sanded to final shape ready for fibreglassing
it was then filled and sanded ready for the cover....this had to be done good enough to be painted as any imperfections will show almost as much as in paint
on the left is the test piece for the Logo for the front pocket lid.....the Logo on the right is the one that will be used on the actual lid
that's about it for today....will post images of it being covered soon.....
