Homemade Center Console

Hi All
I made this from an old shelf, part of a plastic console, leftover interior material and aluminum strips from Lowes.

Ed that looks great I was thinking of something around the shifter like cup holders; I like the way you did yours.

That console looks great. The sources of knowledge and home engineering on this site is amazing and the things I have seen created is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Hi Ed,
Looks great... I am especially impressed with the work you did making the boots for the shifter and P-brake handle. Did you make the patterns for them yourself or did you break down older boots to get it? I'm sure Truxx would appreciate your work.

Later Man...

COOL !!!
