72 Duster build - Pro touring slant six
I also knew I wanted a console with cupholders. The stock console aside from being expensive doesn’t really have the look I wanted. So I looked at newer cars and got a 2017 Challenger console and threw it in there. Fit almost perfect so I welded in some mounts and in it went. The only issue with it was the front of it housed the heater controls which I wasn’t using. So I filled in the area with ABS plastic and then mounted a clock, a/f gauge, and a trans temp gauge from Speedhut. These gauges are thin so they fit inside perfectly. I added in a Hurst shifter and made a cover so it looks right at home. Still need to pull the column and replace the collars so I can get rid of the column shift look.
