Last christmas we were paying two bucks a litre, which.was insane. And i know what you guys mean about city folk finding you, i live in the backwoods north of the city and its getting beyond a joke the amount of people moving here, looks like im.going to have to move further out lol

 

Here are some assorted consoles:








Here's the one I built my Mustang. It's made out of scrap pine, stained ebony, with two coats of poly. The speakers are there so I didn't have to cut my doors or fab up kick panels. It's easily removable but has Velcro along the bottom so it stays put. It's out of the car right now cuz I'm replacing the floor pans...

 

do you fabricate and sell your consoles? email reply to oldesourdough@gmail.com

 

No I don't but they aren't as difficult as they seam.. I have a couple of my own projects that I am working on and a lil one on the way, hard enough to work on my own things...

 

My '79 F250 came with this roof console. I like it, I'll be tidying it up and changing it a little, but it's good. It doesn't really look like a home-made part, maybe it was out of an ambo or something?

I'm in Sydney by the way.

Cheers,

Andrew.

 

Interesting, let's see a couple other Pics...

 

I don't have any other pictures, but I can easily take some. What would you like to see?

 

One from your passenger side and maybe a full shot from just outside your door...not a big deal just curious, i like to see other peoples unique ideas.
Oh ya, Welcome to F.T.E!!!

 

No worries, drove it to work today so just wandered outside and took a couple of shots.

From passenger side (remember I'm in Aus, so steering wheel on wrong side!):



From outside passenger door:



As you can see, it needs a bit of a tidyup, has some cracking and paint runs and chips, it's made from fibreglass I'm pretty sure. It's good though, subtle, you don't really see it from outside the truck. I think I'll change it a bit, just not sure how yet, but overall I like it and haven't seen it in any other f-trucks (not that I've looked at a lot of them).

The interior on my truck is pretty rough, it's still as I bought it 2 months ago. I've been working on the bodywork but progress has been slow as I have had a lot going on and a few problems with my other car (1970 MG Midget) which have taken time away from the truck. Plus the bodywork was worse than it appeared, a few large rust holes had just been filled with filler, so I've been stripping them back and welding in repairs. Once the bodywork is sorted I'll move on to the interior, then from there move onto the mechanicals (which are in good shape already).
