well i finally got some time to do some work to my interior
I cut the seat to get a 40/40 and sewed up the factory fabric....came out great . my dash and seats are gray, so I went black on the new pieces

installed a shorty console since I have a manual and I think I am not going to get the leather arm rest part since I like it the way it is and since the supports break alot anyway.

In its place, I am gonna have a diamond plate square and a repainted ford badge (will be black where usually blue). I think it will look sweet.... pics soon...

MANY MANY THANKS to FRANK (*pastfinder) who gave me the console and helped me get all of the rest of the hardware. You're a swell guy!

hey thanks that give me the confidence to do it

Pics!

 

Pics!

 

Pics Tony! I want to see how the console worked out for you :)

 

sorry guys been on vacation... pics tomorrow!
I ended up with a black metal plate bc i couldn't find a reasonable source of diamond plate (ie not $1000000 per square inch...) and i got the blue and gel removed from the badge, and paint will be sometim next week

 

I have black and silver Ford badges as well, made for me by "buckgnarly" (Carl) from this site. They're subtle, but they're great.

 

Alright Guys, here are the long awaited pics!!! I painted badge with model paint, but i would reccomend NOT doing that as it seems to be very fragile and it show wrinkles. I did the seat cutting, very straight forward, and the console was a little more complicated as i had to do some fabbing to get the bracket to match up. I also slanted mine a little forward cause i think it is more comfortable.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK...

Looks good man, what kind of console is that?

 

looks good..looks like a explorer shorty console with no armrest pad..looks like he fabbed up a plate to cover the hole

 

Yeah I reread the thread and figured that, looks good tho.

 

did u have to paint the console?...it appears so but u never know

 

no actually it was black when i got it and i got lucky with some 2001 to make it look good
I had to paint the little pop-in side covers cause they were tan, and yeah, some left over metal stock to cover where i didn't put the arm rest

 

Looks sharp Tony! Hopefully I can find you an armrest at some point.

 

i appreciate it frank, but don't worry about it. For now, I like it this way! well see in a few weeks though...

 

looks good!

is that a CB speaker in between the console and your shifter?

 

Thanks man, it sure is my CB speaker... I got lucky and it fits perfectly there. I didn't screw it in or anything and it doesn't slide around!

 

Looks good, never seen one done like that. I'd like it a little more level though.
