Center Console Project

Living in Missouri during winter time there are often times like today when the outside tempuratures get above 45F.  That's my minimum temp for working on vehicles outside unless there is an emergency.  (I've been known to rebuild chevy 350's completely in sub-freezing weather OUTSIDE with no shelter - about 30 years ago! LOL)

Anyway as I was saying it's nearly 60F here today December 19th 2013!  So I started this little center console project I've been planning.  It's mostly framed up now.

And I completed the removable top-panel complete with ostrich leather covering.

I'm letting the wood glue setup at this point.  And probably tomorrow I'll finish wrapping the console with the Diamond shaped Quilted Leather.  Then it's just a matter of mounting that bit.

After than there is a small vertical panel which will contain 6-7 gauges.  And completing the arm-rest, which will have a lift-able top arm-rest and below it a small storage space.  

So far so good...

This will be finshed off inside soon with a bottom added as well.

ALSO there is a magnetic clasp that keeps the cover closed.
