SSABMUD, Looks great. I love the insulation board idea. I like the shape of the console. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Shannon, just wish you were here to give me a hand. Especially at fiberglass time!

Well, the fibreglass was not getting done by itself, so I figured I better get after it.

Could not find epoxy resin in this one horse town, so I had to tape up the foam.

Had enough glass in the shop to get the first coat on which is the most important one.

Tomorrow will be glassing up the shifter cover from the bottom, peeling out the foam and replacing wood blocks with metal. Also glassing in the stereo cradle. Will also add more layers of glass from the inside. Need to build the box for under the armrest.

Bought the wipers so long ago I forgot which kit I bought. I have the SPW kit so the vent is no problem to keep if I want.

Very nice! I came up with doing consoles just like this by myself! Kinda nice to see someone else sucssessfully doing it too. Only I didn't think of using the tape, I used a heavy tin foil. Didn't work as good as what this looks like. What tape is that? I love the whole truck. So many sweet ideas coming together shows for a good eye! Keep it up and i look forward to more progress.

Thanks Nebdrummer. The foam works so well that I wish I thought of using it the first two times. Never MDF again. The tape is an A/C tape that you can see through. It is a type of plastic like that crappy Christmas paper you buy by mistake. (You can see through it). The foam and tape just lifts right out.

But hopefully by my birthday it will be in color. March 5th. Lol and about doing urs, get in line! Lol. Superfly wants his done too. I can't even get to his yet!

Good luck on the progress!

Yeah but my truck would be an all expense paid "vacation" to lovely Alberta. Besides, would you not rather work for a Dumbass than a Superfly? JK lol.

Yeah I know how those back issues can be. The pain is ridiculous. Any way nope, I'm not getting close at all. I have not touched that truck in a while. Honey do list man, you know how it is. I have to finish what the wife needs first then comes my toys. If the wife is not happy no body is happy. They have a way of making sure of that.lol

The truck is looking great man.

Worked until 3am this morning fibreglassing. Got the wood blocks changed out to metal, stereo head fitted, two more coats put on, and a first attempt at the storage box for console. Only had about a 1/16" inch of glass on my fingers when I went inside.
