for a 92 caprice wagon.  Turned out better than i thought it would, especially the paint...u can tell from the pics that it has a diffferent color in the light which is pretty cool,the color is black saphire (something like that) just a spray can with motomaster clearcoat cause thats what i had kicking around.  i still have to make a padded leather armrest for it which will slide over the non-painted board thats there...i have a blue neon under the board that is there though and the wiring runs through the MDF...i ground a hole and stapled the wire in place (didnt staple through the wire) then filled it over with Rage.  all i have to do is polish the console, finish the armrest and secure it in place.

I like what I see.  Did you paint it yourself? If so did you use a gun?

Nice job, I really like the design! Keep up the good work and post a pic of the finished piece with the armrest.
In a world full of copycats, it's great to be an original!

Damn thats a really nice piece. I had to relocate my stereo to the bottom of my console on my Accord and stick in a panel with switches for my air ride. When I stop being lazy, I need to make it look neater with a touch of fiberglass work. First Console, Pics -- posted image.

thanks guys.  The paint is rattle can paint...i dont like to use the gun for such small projects cause i hate cleaning the gun and all that stuff, but the console is a lot shinier in person...the flash sorta gets rid of the glossy look, but it brings out the other color  nice so i used it...

I have a question for u guys to help me figgure out what to do with the hole in my dash where the stock radio was.  If u look in the 4th pic, u can see a hole in the dash (the woodgrain area) and it has a piece of paper in it, i'm not sure if i should make a piece and install a tach in there or just make a little cubby to stick stuff in cause the console doesnt have that.  I'm selling the car when these 2 projects are done, should i put my name on it or something?

thanks us_test.  I'll do a pocket then, how much of an angle should it be at, or should i just make a lip at the front of it so nothing falls out?

Nice job, I like the arm rest. Looking to do something similar to my 95 caprice.
