Sheetmetal Project

[Loren]

Thought I'd post a pic of a center console I just finished for a friend/customer's Chevy shortbed...



18ga. steel...pressbrake, hammer, tig-weld, grind. No filler. The "stuff" compartment will be lined w/ carpet same as interior, an aluminum plate goes around the shifter and the rear will be trimmed off depending on where amps etc. mount. The compartment lid is strong enough for somebody to sit on. ECM and all electronics mount on the floor underneath. It'll work with the style of the existing interior: metallic blue paint, a little alum. trim, grey upholstery.



Installed for now...still needs paint etc. and a neater wiring job.

very nice Husband!

[Loren]

Also my sheet metal work ain't bad either, huh...

[Barry Donovan]

nice work.

that is also a resonance keeper if the tranny is straight cut, or an oddity as dual range etc etc.

Nice stuff. I am pondering similar for an old Subaru, could add to tunnel strength depending on how it is mounted as well.

There is a big opening for two levers.

[TheSilverBuick]

I want one!!!

[Loren]

resonance

That was a thought. The mounts sandwich the carpet and dynamat, and he'll probably put more dynamat inside.

[Whelk]

Looks great! It looks like you've been doing this a while.

[pdub]

That's plumb gorgeous Loren.

Now, build me a whole car that will go REAL fast and look like that at the same time. I'll let you know when you get through if I have enough money to buy it from you....after a test drive of course.

Pretty work, Loren. I'd be proud of that one, too!

[Blazerteam]

Lookin great .And seeing it..how many big parts is it made off?..

[BOOOGHAR]

[NewEnglandRaceFan]

[Vengeful Ogre]

Loren you do nice work, wish my sheet metal skills were that good. Can make patches and stuff, but havent got a brake to make things like that.

Guess who.
