Well crap, its a bad link, well until I get time to fix it, my user name on that site is BigGreenMachine. I guess you can type that in and find me, if not tell me what to do.

Ok well i think i fixed the link. Yall can try it now.

It worked for me. It looks nice. I also have that on my list of to do's that's now up to about 50 pages. :toothless

Damn, that looks real nice:shocked

The ford emblem was a good touch too:beer

did you wap the wood in fiberglass? or is it jsut painted wood? what matierials did you make it out of that thing is super nice great job man.

i dont know i kinda like the huge center console that came stock, you can drill a hole in it and fill it with ice and fit about 30-40 beers in it :beer :twotu:

DUDE!

You wanna make a second one??

Whats the toggle do?

I love it!

Bronco Rob - I liked building it, and if you wanted one I would build one for you. I would just add up what i paid for the wood and materials, and then go and get paint to match your interior or any color u like

The toggle switch runs under my carpet to some 6" offroad lights I mounted inside my brush gaurd.

I used some pine from Lowes, mocha paint from Sherwin Williams, Euro Hinges, 3" PVC pipe for the cup holders and a vending machine coin box for a coin holder for the bottom.

We have the same color scheme, get me a price!!!

Ok well let me add it up and Ill get back to you on the price, but in terms of when you get it, how soon do you want it? I have exams in 2 weeks, but if you can wait I can get it to you at least by mid january. Because of christmas and all that, but I can work on it then and on days when I dont work. But where do you live?

And the inside is that spray on bed liner, same with the cup holders and the holder on the outside. Do you want it exactly like mine, in terms of placement of the tray above the cup holders or do you want it going all the way across?

Just let me know what you would like it to look like and Ill apply it to the dimensions of mine, and then I can build it. Ok

Thanks for liking my work so much lol!

That is niiiiice!! Excellent job!

Nice Work,

Thanks Brian, Luckily for me it was split up between some weekends and some weekdays, although 2 fridays and two saturdays, i worked til like 2 in the morning. But thanks for the compliement, and sorry about your loss, Ill pray for you and your family.

Nice work. I've been planning on building one. It will of course hold my monitor and CB, if I ever get around to it, and my sub box I've been planning on building for my new TypeR sitting in my bedroom.

If it were me, I'd carve out some design, but that's just because I did that in a class last year. Oh, and make a ligher holder, of course:

I'd actually like to make an overhead compartment. One of my friends has an 89 Ford Van, and if the overhead is similar, I've had it down before and could easily recreate it. Probably put a CB there then, for that trucker look. Would be a good place for my foglight switches and wiring, too. Put in some of those airplane rocker switches, and another set of speakers. I love the whole custom thing. I've just never been able to do it. That's why I like older vehicles over newer ones. Added 10 speakers to my same friend's 85 K5 Blazer, a CD player, a tape deck and CB. Planning on sticking 4 6x9s in his boat, and maybe a sub or two. Nothing big. He's got a pair of Road Gear amps to power them. But it's a decent setup. I'll hopefully be getting some DJ speakers out of the deal. At least I know I could get him to DJ for me if I ever needed it. :D

very nice, i just took my center console out yesterday, might put in a custom one too, seems like a fun project.

Nice work! I like!

:clap Great job, gotta give you props on a job well done.

that looks real good man, makes me want to redo mine. haha

Give us a good group buy price. Nice work man :thumbup !!!

I used some pine from Lowes, mocha paint from Sherwin Williams, Euro Hinges, 3" PVC pipe for the cup holders and a vending machine coin box for a coin holder for the bottom.

That is painted pine? Looks good.

Where did you get the Euro Hinges?

Do you have enough pictures to post a write up in the tech write up section?
