1970 Dodge Dart
Built a simple under the dash mounted center console.
Early on in the build I had decided I wanted to have a back up camera because as we all know, muscle car mirrors from that era were basically useless, and I did not want to mess up 2 years of progress backing into something the day i finally got to drive her so here we are.
I purchased a backup camera that I liked, but upon arrival the unit was way way bigger than I thought it was so mounting it to the windshield like a GPS unit like I originally wanted to was not going to be possible.
Around the same time I got the camera we decided that we wanted speakers up front instead of just the Kickers in the package tray so the under dash style center console was the perfect remedy to both problems.
Go easy on me, this is my first time ever building something like this and while I am a skilled Knife maker, woodwork is NOT my forte' But i feel like the finished result will work just fine in my daily driver build.
I made the skeleton of the console out of wood, which has been upholstered with the same snake skin patterned vinyl that I used on all my door panels. Everything is held together with wood screws which I Will end up painting black after its all said and done.
