Ok, so I've been looking for a center console for my 74 since I got it. Had one in the parts car that I purchased, but guy I bought it from, snagged it out of the car the day that I went to pick it up!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) After telling me that I might as well buy the car since I was looking to get the console and a couple other parts off of it and he was going to charge me $200 for the console. I bought it and he snagged the console saying he sold it the day before I bought!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Well, I decided to hell with it, I'm going to make my own custom console. Here are some pics of my progress

That looks really nice. When I started looking at the drivers side I thought I remembered that the side needs to kickback towards the middle of the car so your foot doesn't get in the way or vice versa.
I found this link about the measurments. I know, a little to late to help you this time but it looks like you have enough material left maybe if you want to try it. Also the photo attached references the area I am refering to. Hope this helps, the console looks nice, you do nice work. center console measurements  Jim |

I appreciate the compliment. this is actually just an initial experiment. All I had was a couple pictures of the console, and took some measurements from under the dash. I threw this together in about an hour and a half tonight. I'll post again when I have a finished product. Jim |
