Cool Tracy,

We are also planning a center console that can be customized with leather, etc. and will fit a variety of cars. Perhaps you have other ideas for some cf interior parts?

Have you thought about making some inserts or templates where with the instruction of the purchaser, you could produce a variety of different dashes or ???, depending on what the customer wanted? (Modular)

I know you are up to your rear ends in work, however the Covan's dash, and even DSE's dash get really boring looking time after time after time.

I personally wouldn't have an issue with the extra cost, if I could order what I wanted for my car by supplying the necessary instructions/Templates etc.

Thanks again,

Ty O'Neal

Please keep checking our website for updates. Thanks!

Ty,

You pretty much summed up what we are trying to do. Custom parts that can be customized, or to put it another way, customizable custom parts.
Wait until you see our '69 instrument panel, I think you will like it. As far as making each part as a custom piece, that would be expensive, so we are trying to make everything modular like you said. That being said, we won't be able to please everyone, but will try to meet most people's needs. For instance, our console would have different plates to accomdate different transmissions.

Default Carbon fiber console insert

Sounds like you folks at Anvil are on the right track! I was looking for a Carbon Fiber console insert for my 72 Camaro,it has the stock console with a stirrup shifter for the automatic. The Firebirds of the eary 70s have the same basic shifter plate with minor changes when they changed from the stirrup style to the straight stick with push button on top in 73. But the outer surround shape basically stayed the same. Sounds like there would be a maket for these pieces. Cant wait to see the second gen C.F. hood and rear deck, man thats gonna look sweet! You should be able to sell a bunch of those! Thanks for taking the time to listen to the car builders, its ideas and product suggestions that make it easier on all of us to build our dream cars. Tony
