Default Hey, Look at what im building.

Hey guys, I just thought I would show you what im making for my truck.


Click for full size - Uploaded with plasq's Skitch
My truck is 4X4 as you can see here.

So im adding that second peice of wood in the middle because im making a "trap door" It will have two hinges and a lock. Need 4x4? Unlock it and lock 4x4 in then relock the console. Simple. Im going to fill this console with switches and guages. Im going to add a power inverter and maybe a dvd player to it too, But im still unsure about the dvd player.

Let me know what you think. And no that paint isnt staying, I just wanted a example for my self.

Thanks,
Cheat.

Check out the console in the MOTM thread. He did an excellent job, and may give you some ideas.

Good idea though.

School can be like that....... How inconsiderate of them though, scheduling classes during your 'work on the truck' time. Damn.

Alright, new idea. I need to bring that up and get it made into a class. Make it last twice as long as normal.

I know sometimes the link wont work if your not a member, So if your not its go to there home page and then at the top bar goto tech and there will be one called custom center console. Near the bottom.

I really don't mean to be an ***. But, this doesn't seem like an upgrade. Spraypainted plywood in your interior?

How does that look better than what you have? i am sure others are thinking the same thing.

The paint isnt staying I just painted it close to see how it would look, Im intending on painting it properly or having it upholstered. Its just a rough sketch of whats to come. I never said I was done and I did say in my OP that the paint isnt staying.
