Hi all, I changed the front bench seat in my '63 Fairlane 4 door to Grand Cherokee power bucket seats which opened up the tranny tunnel. Ever since I had the idea of making a center console to fill up that space. Searching the net didn't came up with something for my taste so I build it from scratch. I had to buy the hinges and that ws all I needed, the rest was material laying in the shop. The lifting motor is a Mercedes door pull unit. I had to put some micro switches to make it work. When you turn the ignition on, the system is energized and waiting for a command. The command will be a push button on the stock radio to wake up the system. When you turn of the ignition (Accs.), all folds up nicely under the cover. I will have to cover the console with vinyl and some chrome SS so it matches the interior of my Fairlane. Just wanted to share. Mustsed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAS19kJw7ZA
Hi everybody, Wrapped the whole console with some burgundy vinyl and a few chrome trim parts. Looks a way better now. Still have to wrap the bottom with some carpet to make it look stock. Mustsed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyLxkWZpVys
