The console looks "Great" Steve I've been wanting to add a console to my 69 also. Got a good deal on a 5th gen console and will put that in soon and see if I like it. Though seeing the one you built has got me thinking!!

BTW I cheated and had Dakota Digital build this custom for my 70 Camaro.
Their shop is just a couple miles from mine so it's pretty handy

First one they've done with the black bezel and the carbon fiber insert. It'll match up great with my gauge package from them

Nice on the precision metalcraft bezel. I wanted to run a nova modified dash/dse insert in mine to run that bezel but seemed like more work than I was willing to put up with at this time. So I surface mounted mine for the time being.

Cant wait to put the IQ3s to use!

This is really great work and I love the idea of having the A/C vents there. I have a noob question. Are you folks taking measurements as you go or are you going from a standard 1969 camaro console width and length then doing the styling/height/accessories you're after?

Default Console

D, no full custom ... what you want to do is mock up your console in your car out of cardboard. It took me a couple of hours for my mock up, and the main measurements you want to pay attention to is the under dash clearance WITH the carpet in (want it tight), and the width has to clear your seats and seat belts.

Steve ... awesome work !!! Love the 70' dash, very impressive work and love the way you were able to match your AC controller with carbon ... sweeeeet !!

Hope this helps
Cheers
Steve

Does the Rockford Fosgate unit have any GPS ability or input that would allow a GPS to mute the music to "speak"?
