I was wondering if anyone has made their own center console.....?

I as thinking about doing this, have the CD player on it, with a 12V plug and be able to hide the fuse box in it......

I would make it out of wood then bring it to an upolstry shop and get it covered w/ some material..........

I bet it would look pretty cool 8)

Tell me what you think ;D

I made one up from wood and covered with with leather and thin foam padding I bought from a local upholstery shop. I just glued on the foam padding and attached the leather with small staples and glue. I put my radio and some misc. switches in.

I made one, steel though. It is set-up for a little more down and dirty off-road but you could change a few things to make it a little more daily driver friendly. It is hard to see but te console extends down between the seats. If you want any other pics I can take more.

I made mine mine from a 20mm ammo can. I believe Galen (Gmoney) did the original write up, I just borrowed his plans. I love it, the only issue that I've got is that I didn't select a cd player that was rated for verticle installation, so it skips pretty easy. the height is perfect for an arm rest. I just got back from the spring roundup yesterday. (650m round trip) between the ford probe bucket seats, and the center console, it was pretty comfortable. I might have some pics at home. I'll check for the website.
found it in the links page to the left.

I built a speaker box that would fit between my prelude seats with a single 10" fosgate sub in it.. it was a sloppy build cause I just wanted to see how it would sound/fit before I spent the $ on mdf... but so far so good... though I could use some cup holders!

Sorry, it took me awhile to respond. The ones on the upper right are individual light switched (its a desert racer thing, if you break a light mount you can turn just one off so it doesn't swing around distracting you) The others are for ign, fans, fuel pump, start, NOS, winch controls, int lights, etc. They are normal size, sealed switches...they just look big in that pic.
