1941 chevy SD center console Idea's? pic's
I'm changing to bucket seats and needed some ideas on a center console that I can get from a junk yard or aftermarket . I have a B&M shifter I was hoping to have sit inside of the console and have a set of switches mounted inside a compartment in the console that I can lock shut. I think it would be cheaper to find one that my interior guy can work off of rather then have him fab one.
Thanks.
Here are some pictures of my ulgy old interior.

I would think building one out of wood , and covering it would be better IMO
Start with construction paper and tape , and make to your liking , then just un-tape it , and use it for transfers for the wood .
Be your own style and you did it yourself
Plus you can add drink holder holes , an arm rest , the ideas are almost endless .
Or use a nice top laminate type ( walnut , birch , ect..) plywood , and stain it and clear it for a rich look .

I agree with SprayTech.it's not very hard to make using the card board model.I use the B&M hammer shifter,A/C Controls,Alpine stereo,Vents 2 on the side &1 on the rear & door,trunk switches on rear vertical panel.I trimmed with black acrylic. Check it out in my Gallery or Link below.Good luck with it.Don D

I built the one for my '71 Ford pickup out of about $3.00 worth of 20 ga. steel.... As the others have said, I just started out with some posterboard and made some templates, transferred that to the 20 ga., cut it out and welded it up...

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
