I will see if I can get some pictures off of him.

Did you end up getting one?

Those are pretty sweet. Looks expensive for what it is though. Have you considered building one yourself? I'm designing one now for my 67. I plan on using fiberglass and foam over a round bar frame. I will follow up with details.

I would love to see some pic of what other have done with their consoles as well.

I put my order in. Just waiting for it to show up. I will post some pictures of it when it arrives.

I've got a 69 project going too. I'm considering the MCI. Watching this thread!

Here's the e-mail I received the day I ordered. It looked good to me so I went for it. Should see it here soon I think there were only a few orders ahead of mine.

"This console comes as you see it, the front and top of the tower will need to be cut to fit your car.

It is about 30 inches from the back of the arm rest to the face of the tower and it is about 10 inches wide on the face of the tower.

Check your measurements to see if this will work for you. The top of the tower ( after the cut to fit ) should meet the dash just behind the bottom of the ash tray and the back of the arm rest should sit above the seat belt bolts on the tunnel

We will need to know what type of shifter you have before we can install the cup holders ,we have had some automatic set ups that won't allow us to use our cup holders, there isn't enough room for the bezel and the cup holder."

So its here and looks good. Once I trimmed it down to fit just under the dash. It ended up being about eight inches short (Does not go back between the seats far enough). Im going to cut it in half just in front of the storage compartment and add the extra length in.
Not a direct bolt in but lots to work with.

Did you inform the seller?

[dubbleu]

No I didnt contact the seller. The seller never claimed it was a direct fit. Im more than happy with it. Like I said lots to work with and the end result will be nicer than if I had started from scratch.

If you can try, Glass in a metal or aluminum strip on the inside area where you are extending it. Gives it extra strength. Nice looking shape to start with, Should work great.

Sounds good. Thanks for the tip Tracy. I'm going to pick up some aluminum and fiberglass today after work and get at it.
