As usual, your video is shot so well. Everything you're talking about is in the shot and in focus, and all of the audio is crystal clear. Besides the excellent general info, I appreciate how professionally done your videos are.

[@alexbaklamov3031]

The reason I like your videos is because you make it so understandable ! I feel way more confident working on my car after watching these.

Chris that is awesome. I've been trying to figure out how to make a console for my 95 F150, and this video gave me so many ideas.

Bought a center console out of a junkyard 2014 Fiesta SE and retrofitted it into my 2016 Fiesta S. Was in great condition and now the car is a lot more comfortable on longer trips. I also retrofitted cruise control.

great video as usual! to everyone asking where the shifter and handbrake are; these cars use a column type shifter that mounts to the steering column, and these cars are equipped with a "parking brake" not a handbrake that is a foot pedal.

[@988robi]

if u use a bit smaller drillbit after you use the small one and just making a hole thats as big as the screw-head you will get it flush with the wood and ti will be less of a cheap look ;) allways smart to do :)

[@chrisfix]

Thanks for the tip!

[@alexlycan8]

ChrisFix Are you swedich or

[@willharris8632]

Raging Robin or u can use a counter sink bit, quicker than re drilling the holes etc

9:55 THE POWER OF EDITING!

[@chrisfix]

+Ronaldo Rodriguez haha yes!

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

That editing showing multiple drilling moments at the same time was brilliant! I'm thinking brilliantly difficult as well. I can't wait to make a center console myself. I pulled my old one for a repair and I couldn't make myself put it back because it didn't suit my needs at all. This video series is exciting and I can't wait to share with you a built center console myself. :)

[@FireCrowsWorkshop]

Is it only me thinking here that the thickness of that wood is a bit overkill for this sort of application? Other than that, very well described process!

[@kevinbaker2470]

For ease of build. Also, might be fuckin a fat bii im the crown vic. Would crush her self esteem if she crushed your center console. Then you'd have to goto wendys and fond another

[@adraedin]

Cardboard is super handy. I made a few things out of a thin, pressed cardboard specifically for my car. I created a little storage unit with a cup holder between my seats. I also created four equal-sized containers in the trunk of my car with slots & shelves to organize all my stuff and I also cut out handles to easily carry them and remove it all from my trunk in a jiffy. I also measured and created two small boxes about the size of a large toolbox that fit behind the driver & passenger seat for storage - they are designed so that the seats won't collide with them no matter how much they shift or recline by fitting just inside that safe zone. I lost too many things in my car that I had to have a place for all the stuff I had in there instead of just throwing it inside somewhere.

[@swilson9794]

There is a counter sink attachment that slides over a drill bit so when you make your pilot holes it tapers the end and your screws will always be flush. They are also adjustable on the bit so it doubles as a depth gauge, highly recommended.

I would HIGHLY recommend cutting with a jigsaw if you plan on cutting wood by hand. Used one's are well under $50 and you can get them even new from Amazon for under $50. Makes cutting very simple, quick, and you can even cut curves!

I am a big fan of your videos, ChrisFix. I really like how people like you simply give all this information to us, for Free!!

[@chrisfix]

+Chinmay Gupta Thanks! This video took two straight weeks of 14hr days (weekends included) to make. I needed to split it up because there is too much editing to do for the other video which will take me another week or two.

[@chinmaygupta1530]

ChrisFix So its the production process, which holds you back.. I get it. I personally use PowerPoint for any kind of editing. We all just don't know how advanced it is. You can seriously make professional videos with it, considering you have the latest version and everything. I like how you can lift up the center console and fit a third person in your truck, but is it legal to be at the front without a seat-belt?
