Center console recomendations

I was wondering the same thing earlier today. I figured I can mock one up using cardboard and tape, and then use that to make and weld it up using sheet metal. Once finished, I'll have my upholsterer wrap it in foam and leather or vinyl.

I'm figuring I can make something that has a comfortable armrest that lifts up for storage, a secret compartment for a Glock, cup holders, power ports and gauge pods.
