Posted by: oakdalecurtis Jul 15 2016, 10:02 PM
Anyone like this custom raised console? I can drive and shift with my right arm supported at all times, it opens with lots of storage space inside, and it has a cupholder bar in front of the box in the tray. I had to add short seat belt extensions on each side to reach the belt latches. The shifter has been moved slightly to the left, the smaller Momo wheel gives my 6'3" legs lots of room now. A steering wheel spacer raises the steering wheel by about an inch so I can still see the gauges properly. You like the yellow Blaupunkt radio?[attachmentid=564200][attachmentid=564208]

Cool Interior. Pictures of the cup holder and insides? Did you just build a new bottom box or add to the existing one?

Info on the seat inserts please, and all you need now to set it off are some yellow face gauges!

Seat inserts were custom made by local upholstery shop long ago, can't remember which one, but very simple to make.

I made a custom console, and elevated the arm rest. I always felt the stock height was somewhat useless. I now have a usable and comfortable arm rest.
