I'd say stop overthinking and doubting yourself. You got the skills

[@DemonSeedXP]

The best way to apply fabrics with contact adhesive is to place the fabric on top of where its to be installed, being sure to allow around 10-15% extra around all edges then to apply the glue simply fold the material in half with it remaining in it's install location, revealing half the surface to be be glued as well as half the material to be glued. If you're worried of any overspray getting on the face, newspaper works well to quickly mask spots off. Now once the glue has tacked, just need to flip the folded fabric back over into the glue, rubbing it out along the way, removing any wrinkles to the edges. Then fold the other half back, and apply the glue again. Once the entire surface is glued and fabric is in place, you can flip the board face down, spray the edges, and once ready using the extra material that was allowed to run past the edges you can stretch the fabric around the edges, and once everything is good use a razor to trim the excess off .

[@kesselsgarage]

😂 yeah you make mine look like a paperweight. Sounds like your going to be slamming! Thanks man!

[@martinolivas319]

Just watched the video and you are a rockstar brother ! I see the tubing you used on the air vents and man that is such a great idea

[@kesselsgarage]

Thanks man!!

[@robertboyero3797]

@@kesselsgarage what's the idea? Isn't that the normal flex tubing that runs to the vents?

[@Bigpil2u]

Looks killer! Nice work.

awesome job mate looks great

How tall is it from the floor to the top of the storage compartment?

[@seethesvt]

I was thinking I'd use some thin foam between my board and vinyl.

[@kesselsgarage]

Thanks!! Yeah if I was going to do it again I think I may put it around the areas where you would lean against

[@seethesvt]

Looks good. Nice job.

[@ari1234.]

I need one like that..Nice

[@stevencooper399]

Got any scrap card board ?

[@robertboyero3797]

looks great! I'm going to try to build one for my 85 with a bench seat. Couple of questions though, how deep are those cup holders and what size speakers did you use? Thank you

[@kesselsgarage]

Thank you!! I don’t have an exact measurement but they will hold a large yeti cup. Here is the link www.basspro.com/shop/en/tigress-stainless-steel-cup-insert. The speakers are 6.5” and the buttons are 3/4” buttons from billet automotive buttons.

[@PeteHill-fq4zo]

How wide is it?

[@robertboyero3797]

What size button switches did you use?

[@jesscts193]

What type of material did you use for the upholstery?

[@kesselsgarage]

It’s just black suede and vinyl from eBay

[@jesscts193]

@@kesselsgarage Thank you for taking the time to answer. By the way, your job turned out great.👍

[@daringlass2846]

Hey buddy looks great where did you get your cup holders from

[@kesselsgarage]

Thanks! They are actually boat cup holders but they are the only big ones that would hold a yeti cup. Here’s a link to them www.basspro.com/shop/en/tigress-stainless-steel-cup-insert

[@garthcarnell5420]

Where did you get the exhaust cutoff bottons?

[@kesselsgarage]

They are from Billet Automotive buttons

[@bishop2355]

What size chamfer router bit did you use? Thanks

[@kesselsgarage]

It was a 1/2”

[@fishenbyfaithoutdoors2589]

Where did you get your seats. Or what are they out of.

[@kesselsgarage]

They are new cipher bucket seats.

[@luceroortega1705]

What is the price for that Center consolé for a 06 single cab Chevy

[@kesselsgarage]

Sorry man as of right now I don’t sell them

[@Jus10-born2Run]

How is it all attached? (After the pieces were wrapped)

[@kesselsgarage]

All of the side pieces and braces are attached with L brackets. The radio bezel and cup holders are just placed in and they are held down by the armrest angled piece that is held in by strong magnets.
