My console for my 65 Econo

I think I got it laid out the way I want it. The black tray will be painted either white or the same color of blue as the outside of the van, The sides will be upholstered in blue vinyl and the top will be done in white to match the seats and dog house. The hole on top is for a tach I am waiting to get from Summit Racing. The hole at the bottom is for another stainless steel cup holder. The little aluminum button on top is for the train horns. Kick panels will be installed from the dash to the floor. A monitor for a back up camera will be installed where the stock gauges are so the chrome gauge panel will be available to anyone that needs it. I paid $50.00 to have it chromed but if someone here needs it I will let it go for half that plus shipping otherwise I will list it on ebay for more.

Lookin' good! (Do you have a speedo mounted elsewhere?)

What material are you going to use for your kick panel?

The one on the left is the new speedo. I am thinking of using thin polished diamond plate aluminum for the kick panels because it is easily shaped, cheap and will match the rest of the van. It also comes in red, blue and black chrome. Then later if I decide I don't like the diamond plate I can cover it with some foam rubber and some blue vinyl. Upholstery shops carry some flexible cardboard material that you can use also. The problem with it is it is hard to cut.

Doh! How did I miss your speedo?!!!!

Mike, thats looking really cool. Nothing like a custom console. Something Im hoping to put in my own eventually. I would like to buy that Chrome guage panel from you. If you can give me a shipping quote and a total I'll pay you all at once for the radiator, valve cover and the dash guage panel.. Thanks.
