Durango Center Console Progress, Pics

No luck yet... I think I found a 35gallon tank and a 6hp compressor that is like 350 shipped to Miami.  I might go with that on.  Problem is that I want this thing painted right away.

Right on... it sucks that I just moved down to South Florida about two years ago... I don't have any boys or contacts down here that can hook  me up...  I'm going to go to a few shops that I have had some things painted at to see if they can do it cheap... otherwise I'm waiting...

...which also sucks because I'd like to sell the D soon because I need to get a truck AND I've got  my eyes on a sweet one that just might be sold by the time the console and leather is done and I sell the D.

If you're talking about the truck as I whole... I hear ya... there isn't an inch on it that hasn't been customized in some way... if you're talking about just the work done to the center console... it's no biggie.

I'm trying to land a 2003 Dodge Ram Hemi with less than 10K miles, bone stock, exept for bages and 22's.  I need a pickup.

Don't sell the Durango for a pickup, can't you just chop the top man?

Didn't think I forgot about finishing up the thread did you...

I bit the bullet and threw down to have the CC painted because I couldn't find an airtank and compressor for the right price yet.

The series of pics below are from right after getting it painted until I finished up last night.  Overall I would rate the astetics of the console at a 9.5 out of 10.... talking about finish, paint, etc.  The functionality is pretty good also with storage for cds and also a compartment along the length of the rear part of the console.  And the removable panel for the front LCD is key if I ever want to change the front monitor to another brand.  I'll only have to remake that panel instead of f'ing with the entire front part of the console.  The only thing that I would of done differently is made it easier to do the wiring, etc.

At the very bottom is a link to a mpeg of the center console... any of you buggers that still have dial up... don't even bother clicking on it... it's 34megs.

I know it doesn't look it... but it's any extremely organized mess.

Storage compartments... the sides will be lined with black tweed as well.

Notice my other switch panel underneath the steering column.

HERE IS THE VIDEO OF THE CONSOLE... CLICK THE LINK.

I JUST HAVE TO FINISH THE LEATHER AND THEN THE D IS DONE... IT'LL BE UP FOR SALE SHORTLY AFTER.  I'LL POST PICS OF THE COMPLETED VEHICLE WHEN I'M DONE WITH THE LEATHER.

Thanks man... no biggie on selling it... I'm going to start again building a vehicle per year.  I've got my eyes on another project or two.

The thing is... I don't like watching television so I've got a lot of free time on my hands... Figure the average American watches between 10 and 20 hours of TV per week... how much do you think you could learn about what interests you per week.

Thanks for the comps on the CC.
