Custom Console

[6pk2goDemon]

Bought a console just like this almost 2 years ago & finally got around to doing something with it....

I can't find my original pics---It's the same only in white...dang IT !! :banghead:

It was a bear to get apart without breaking anything....

An angle grinder & a dremel got us here....

Some leather dye & a little more cobbling together.....

Is it possible to incorporate cup holders in there? I was going to build a custom one then I thought ...why not a used one from a wrecked car, cheaper and less hassle. So now I have a customized used console with cup holders and 2 more power outlets.

Yes, and exactly the reason I chose this console. Gotta have a place for a beverage. Pics are coming right up....

I don't think I've seen your console :scratch: Care to share ??

Thanks Rob....I'm happy with how it turned out

More cutting and fitting with lots of measuring. The leather dye covered really well going from white to black....

What did this console come out of? The shape of it is perfect.

Here are LeBlanc's photos of his console. He wasn't able to post them so I got volunteered. LOL I'm not real sure on the order but I am close.

Pic #4 goes first but the rest are in the right order.
It is from a 2010 Kia Forte, it had the right width for my car. I added 3'' to the back of it. fits beautifully and the shifter is where it should be plus I have 2 more power outlets.

and now for the sows ear.... Great work!

makes mine look simple

May be simple but all you need is in a compact unit,,,,great.

If you just need to keep your cups from spilling, that's all you need.... :color:

I had an old console and the "decoy" 67 GT came with buckets and column shift so I made this and it will sit still without bolting down. If I need to do anything under the dash I can just set it out of the way

No brain surgery scheduled here, but it did turn out pretty decent or I wouldn't show it to you

Jack, Thanks for posting leblanc's custom console pics. That looks really nice with the shifter integrated. A couple of extra power outlets is a bonus!!
