Show off your center console. Need ideas

So it looks like I need to fab up some sort of a center console for my 61 f100 in order to hide some electrical components. A trip to the junk yard and pulling a factory item might not be the route on this, as Im not really a console fan...

Searching on here I did see one COOL console done with exhaust tubing and some trim. It came out really sweet, but I may need to access mine a bit easier since its holding electrical stuff.

What have you whipped up for your ride? What came in your ride? What'd you snag at the junk yard and adapt?

 

You got any pictures of what you are working with ?

 

I installed gauges and switches in this 'glass-made underdash console.

 

no pictures of what im working with, as i havent started with anything yet. Hiding some non HAMB materials under it, 2 fuse blocks and a 1 inch by 6 by 8 block (computer)

 

Here is one.

 

my '51 Ford's console:


to hide a too new looking stereo, phone charger, etc.


and speakers below...

 

mine consists of a thermos cup for change and pens and a roll of duct tape for the multi purpose cup holder/repair kit

 

Cupholdersplus.com has all your traditional streetrodding needs covered.Place is great.

 

I'm an off road guy and have been doing sheet metal fabrication for years, hers is a pic of my off road truck and another console in a minitruck with a stick shift, hope these give you some ideas

 

Russ, that drop aka radio box is sweet. what was it before?

 

I am in the same boat. Need ideas.
Has anyone used PVC foam bord or epanded PVC sheets to build a console?

 

I don't have a pic but what about a console that fits between bucket seats fab'd out of two Y block valve covers. Use one as the base and one as the opening top. Fab a hinge that allows the top cover to open towards the passenger seat to allow access to the storage inside. Use two pieces of pipe as the feet and cut them to give the height you want...... I think the console would look great and functional all at the same time.

Just an idea........

 

I used 2 Harley Davidson gas tanks. I loved the lines...

 

This is pretty cool! What is that door assembly out of, and what is the speaker surround material?
