Default Center console

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I made several drawings to find out what I liked.
Searched on the internet to get some idea's. Mustang 05 shifter, airride e2 controller (would love to have the e3 but running out of ......money) 7" DVD player, Rockford Fosgate pre amp signal processor, stainless switches, SPAL power window switches.
This is the result.

@Jonathan. My car was painted by AJ's paint & body in Emmen. www.ajs-autobody.nl
Nice place in the east of Holland. Do you speak Dutch?

Pro touring is getting more and more popular over here but only for a limited amount of people because it costs soooo much money to upgrade your car............

Here some pics of the build.

Sorry - that's kinda a big jump between pic 4 & 5 - what's the console covered with? Is it just painted wood?

Dude, that is incredible.

I think that's nicer then many fiberglass custom consoles I've seen.
I'd also REALLY like to know how you made the silver trim edges and
what you covered it with.

Any progress pics to show how it went from the plain MDF finish to the really nice final look ???

I receive so many requests for giving more information about the build that I decided to post some more pictures.

I had the center console covered by Alfred van Vliet. He did a very good job. He has an upholstery shop in the south of Holland. Unfortunately he did not take pictures during the build so I can only post the "after" pictures.

He covered the MDF with a thin layer of foam and on top of that he glued the vinyl to the foam. The silver is stitched to the black.

Here they are.



I am really satisfied with the result. Looks very professional.
Let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks for the pics and details.

That answers my question.
Very very nice console dude. Very impressive.

I'm going to give this a shot with my 70 442 since I need a new console
after I get my 6 speed installed over the new tunnel.
