Hi guys!
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I've got my hands on both a 67 roof console and floor console. Neither one of them are in great condition, but the plan is to use them as templates to create truly restomod consoles.
The car is antique white, with a black vinyl top, and EVERYTHING black inside.
Now I expect to cop some flack for this... but my intent is to keep the original lines of the floor console, but add in new features, including:
* White trim
* 2Din Stereo/GPS hidden behind a mini roller door (have a retro stereo in the original place)
* Cup holders
* L&R speakers (pointing into the footwells)
* Storage (somewhere to chuck phones/wallets etc)
* Piping to run aircon to the rear seats
And for the roof console:
* Trimmed in white
* LED map/courtesy lights (doors open) including a white opaque panel that runs the length of the console that lights up
* LED map/reading lights for the rear seats.
Like I said - I don't expect this to be too popular amongst traditionalists... But there are a lot of shortcomings in the existing consoles (ashtrays, belt holders) that I think can now be done better.
Whilst my current humphugger fills some of my needs, it just isn't enough...
Thoughts, criticism and flamage - welcome!
Oh - and I will post pics!
