sounds easy enough, thanks, I guess that stuff is made to bond to nearly anything.
Your combination looks awesome! Just the right blend of rugged and gorgeous!
Check this console out. Haha, it makes use of a wide open space.
I ran red and black feeders from the auxiliary battery to + and - buss bars that are mounted behind the switch panel face plate to make switch wiring easier.
There are shut off switches under the hood, but I run front/rear off road lighting, winch, electric fuel pump and an auxiliary battery system volt meter off that switch plate. Works great.

Nice, That is a convenient place to put the controls without chopping up the dash! Cup holders are way more important than we want to admit.
Mines not as functional as yours, but it has a 12v charge port, usb charge port, and I was planning a 1500W inverter inside. It's a rear seat console from a 2010 Navigator. Fits fairly well in there. (With my powertrain upgrades, I don't have a floor shifter for the T\case anymore)

That's a heck of an idea, fits right in there. Where did those seats come from?

Consols are nice,but I learnt years ago. The safest place to be if you seen you was gonna be in a accident was in the floor. With a console sometimes they prevented you from getting in the floor,but I,d like to make one for over head and be able to hit the floor in case.

2017 or 18 Audi Q8, They fit on the original bases wit 2 pieces of flat bar. They are a little high but with all of the power adjustments I am comfortable and I'm 6'2"
The back seat fits perfectly as well (Middle row from the Q8) they will bolt right to the floor, I just have to figure out rear seat belts, (The factory ones will work in the front.)LGPL2220.JPG
This was a rough mock up

Wow, those look like they fit great. Sure beats the seats I have that I found in someone's trash. 😂

Love the stance on that black one. What motors do they have?

The 78 is a stock 400 with a 2 barrel. The 79 has a older model 408, 400hp Crate from Summit Racing dropped it in 18 years ago absolutely great engine if I change it again will get another one if I can. If the 78 needs a swap will swing a Crate in it great engines

I had 2 Toyota seats in mine for awhile. I hade to make pedistal for each one to sit higher. What I liked about them is they would almost lay flat,but they were not as comfortable as the bench seat I got out of another one. I also have the back seat. Out in the building.It has green cloth material on it.

Got the dash back in, 2003 cluster looks ok, not perfect, but I'm not a fan of the electronic replacements. Ill see how I like it after a while. (I needed it to make the PATS system work too, I'm trying to do the whole thing without a tune)

Did you build that console? I like the fit! And where did you get the switch plate? I almost has an aircraft look to it.

Looking at the set up in your instrument panel Do you remember the way Edsel had their. Where it rotated and the gear selector was in the steering wheel. My neighbor has one.t was a greenish----blueish color and white. It was a reallu good looking color combination.
