Hey guys, I posted a while ago about a custon dash panel I made for my 72 Duster using the stock cluster and a carbon fiber insert I made. Well heres the center console I just completed with a carbon fiber insert to match the dash, thought I'd share to see what you guys think and give some ideas to anyone interested. Just took a stock console and epoxyed on a carbon fiber insert, then found a Mr. Gasket "European Style" shift boot to finish it off. Here it is...

Thanks, I'm really happy with the way everythings turning out, still want to redo the door panels and get the rear seats recovered to match but its getting there.

The seats are actually black leather seats out of a 2001 Audi TT, I just modified the brackets to fit the Duster. Heres a couple shots of the seats when I put them in.

I used a 2 part epoxy to hold it down, seems to work great. Love your dash and console, same taste, looks awesome, really like the shifter, thats bad-***!!!

thanks. i wish my interior was as far along as yours. the shifter is actually a B&M quick silver. when i put it in with the tall shift handle it hit the dash in park. i just took it all apart and made my own shifter arm and put it all back together.

your engine bay looks killer!

its not sassy grass and its not sublime either. its actually a scherwin williams color. i think its called muscle car green. its been so long. love the high impact colors.
