[@NoobMechanic]

[@giamaralana4299]

[@NoobMechanic]

Thanks! I hope it works out for you!

[@chasejones3456]

Got myself a 85 S10 I'm looking to do this in so glad I found your channel my guy. Mine is an extended cab but your truck compares better to mine than all the other videos I found.

[@NoobMechanic]

Just a helpful hint on the curves of the 1/2 plywood, set your skill saw just low enough without cutting the plywood in half, and cut as many perpendicular straight lines across until you achieve the perfect 90⁰ angle 🤙

[@zacharynunn1920]

You will be able to cut your entire top section of the console out of 1 full piece

[@NoobMechanic]

Thanks for the helpful tip!

Called kerfing

[@CAWIII45]

Dude this is amazing. Thank you for the tutorial of how you made this. I'm definitely going to build my own for my 73' F250 Crew. Keep up the awesome work.🍻

[@NoobMechanic]

Thanks for watching! I hope your console comes out awesome.

[@Gmoney1019]

Gave me some good idea with the templates. I’ll use the technique to build something in fiberglass.

[@NoobMechanic]

Glad I could help!

[@Jevonn13]

U did a great job brother salute

[@The_Bored_Farmer]

I'll probably do this on my 1986 f150 and add a wireless charger in it somewhere and I'll cover the wood with diamond pattern faux leather of some sort but good job!

[@FastSlothVideos]

Shift boot idea. Use a crown royal bag. 👍

[@NoobMechanic]

that's not a bad idea! Thanks!

[@chrismcelveen2839]

Can't thank you enough for videos like these...So appreciative I just bought one of your shirts! And No. My truck isn't done yet.

[@NoobMechanic]

Thank you so much for taking your time to comment and support the channel. I hope you enjoy the shirt! I have another budget console build that I filmed but havent gotten around to editing it. Make sure to subscribe to see when it drops. Thanks again Chris.

[@joneastman5627]

Awesome job man, thanks

[@NoobMechanic]

Thank you for watching!

[@lccountry9768]

I dig it man. Keep up the crafty videos. I’m gunna attempt to take out the middle seat in my 04 Silverado because it don’t fold down and build a whole console!

[@NoobMechanic]

Thanks man! I havent been able to make anything in a while but i should be getting back to it soon. Id love to see the console when youre done!

[@itkills9251]

That came out really nice! Great job brotha can't wait to see what you do next

[@NoobMechanic]

Thanks man. Sebin

The wrap on this one is much better than the Crown Vic.

[@NoobMechanic]

Thanks!

[@just_your_localguard9612]

I would fill in the area around the shifter, I think wood ruins it quality look, I plan to do something similar but gonna add leds

[@NoobMechanic]

I did fill it. I sewed a shifter boot and made an aluminum bracket. ended up looking great.

[@Pr0n1s]

I don't know why KZbin recommended this to me, but now I've got nightmares haunting me of my 1969 C20 custom camper 4x4😞 If you asked why I sold it, I couldn't tell you and it's still one of my biggest regrets.. but nice build and thanks for uploading!

[@NoobMechanic]

I don't know why either but I'm sure glad you stopped by. I had an old 69 Torino that I had to let go of, so I sure know the feeling. It's rough

[@cvanley]

You did an amazing job for that money. Subscribed!

[@NoobMechanic]

Thanks a ton!

[@k1llsw1tch65]

I plan to do something similar on my 99 keep tj along side a remote shifter. I’ve been looking in the forums to see if anyone has done something similar but unfortunately no luck yet. Guess I’ll have to be the first one lol

[@NoobMechanic]

sounds like a fun project. Upload a video of you doing the work to help other people

[@josefek3389]

Nice! Where did you get the cupholders?

[@billiewright3577]

Man. Too bad it’s 2021 and 3/4 plywood is $70 a sheet. Good video and great idea though. I’m gunna try it.

[@NoobMechanic]

Yeah no kidding. I had to put a lot of projects on hold because of the lumber spike. Luckily more of my small projects are done with recycled material.

[@zeez9053]

Man you done a good mod 🤘🇬🇧

[@NoobMechanic]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@1984bmartin]

How did you mount the console to the floor? Not sure how much room there is for a fastener to penetrate.

[@NoobMechanic]

With this console I built it to be a wedge fit. Its tight to the front and back, side to side. So It doesn't move at all. But there is no fasteners at all.

[@Brian.8272]

im trying to find a console with cup holders in front of the shifter, for my 81 trans am or find someone to make cup holders for my current console

[@NoobMechanic]

Follow my video on how to do it and I’m sure you can get it done.

[@bernardubben5941]

How did you secure it to the vehicle?

[@NoobMechanic]

Its wedge fitted. it doesn't move or budge. seat needs to be removed to remove console.

[@mylastonei7920]

Cool! What did u put this in?

[@NoobMechanic]

1970 c10 stepside. youll find videos of it on my channel. And thanks!

[@petergrasher8690]

awesome!

[@NoobMechanic]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Sleepknot145]

Is there a video on the wiring?

[@NoobMechanic]

Unfortunately not. The usb and cigarette lighter socket were pretty easy. I just googled how to connect them. The screen was just spliced into my old connectors. Pretty easy to do

[@theatf6070]

what seats do you have?

[@NoobMechanic]

they are buckets out of an El Camino. I welded some brackets to bolt into the factor holes in the floor.

about 4 1/2 hours spread over 3 days.

How are you? Can you make me one seriously?

How much for you to build me one,

It would be about 200 for labor and materials. but i would need access to your vehicle so i can make it to the specific size.
