    Well, I have been doing some work to the van...finally. I had to get rid of the rust that was starting on the driver and passenger side floor. It was only surface rust now so I thought I would get rid of it before it gets worse. Sorry I forgot to take pictures before I started.

    Then i got the floor all primed. So then I had an idea for a center console in my head, grabbed some cardboard and made a template. It took a little to get it just right, a lot of trial and error. I used 1/2" plywood and painted it flat black for now, just wanted to see how it would look. I'm going to wrap it in carpet or vinyl not sure yet.

    Over all I think it turned out pretty close to how it looked in my head. Smile

    Can you sew? A sewn black vinyl cover with 1" pad would look terrific! Great design!

    Later,
