Center console upgrade!

[hawkeye]

I have only had this installed for about six Hrs. and I LOVE it. Wow what an improvement over OME. I have Cup holders!

Did you build it? anymore pictures? got a build thread going on?

 

[spdwaver]

Looks great; is that built with 3/4" MDF?

 

[hawkeye]

This one is made from 1/2" plywood. It is the prototype for a metal version I plan to make.

Sweet!

I don't need another key to lose, so how about a simplex lock, like on my handgun safe?

 

[Doc]

That looks great!

 

[ardentyota]

Looks really good. Can you get your fingers around the e-brake though?

 

[hawkeye]

No you can not place you fingers around the e-break handle. But it is not a problam, it is still easy to use the e-break.

That is a cool idea. It would also be cool to use one of those thumb print activated locks that they have on some handgun lock boxes.

Very nice! I have longed for more cup holders for so long...

Here are a couple more pics.

 

[teejnut]

Got any pics of the inside? Just to get an idea of the capacity of this sucker.

I dabble in woodworking also.

Would you have some original plans?

I'd love to make one for mine.

Thanks

 

[hawkeye]

Sorry. No. I just made a template from the OME.

Looks good!!! Throw some padding on the top, wrap it in gray vinyl and sell one to me! : )
Afterwards, apply for a patent too!

Patent? Yeah that is a good idea. Is'nt that exspensive?
