I decided to do some interior work on my car and wanted a new center console, the one before was basically a big box on the floor, and i didn't like the look. When i bought the car i got like half of a 2.0 console and used that as a template for one side and built the rest the way i wanted it to look. It is not complete yet but will be. I still need to put the led lights on either side and inside the little compartment, to give a little more light in the interior. I need to cover it in vinyl and get the thrid switch for the last hole. The switches will be used to turn the fuel pump on and turn the leds on as well, the third(i guess second since the middle switch will do this) will be used as a kill switch, i haven't decided on that yet either. What do you think?

I would only really need a master copy of the sides of the thing because everything else is a straight cut. How would i use a router with the master copy, could u explain that? If i can make them quick and cheap ill do it, but it will be a very basic console, no precut holes for gauges or the shifter(some people didn't like the square) so i would leave that up to whomever buys it. If i can get a setup going where i don't have to put a lot of time into it and i can make them quick all i would charge is for the wood used(not that expensive) and then a little extra for my time to make it. I would leave the covering with vinyl or whatever up to the buyer.
I am interested in making these precut kit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) , just need a good system to do it and i will pump them out for sure for anyone who wants one. I also figured out how to get rid of the hangover the console has on the drivers side. If i cut the square to the end of the board, basically eliminating one of the left side of the square, i should be able to move the whole console over thus removing that hangover on the drivers side. Or just making it skinnier would work too, but then the gauges won't fit in the gauge plate. Back to work on the console now, just got out of class, figured id give the heads up on the precut kit, thought about it all day, and decided i will make them just need some time to get things perfect. Like i said, this will be a very basic console, the buyer can modify it any way they want to in order to make it better or suit there needs. These are not perfect, but i think they look great!! |
