Console love & Canton oil separator.

[Dalamar]

Here's my latest project on my car.

Got this console locally, it was in pretty good shape, was tan and a few holes drilled in it ;(
I did get it for free and want the cup holder, so here's what I did with it:

Hmmm, what to do with this...

 

[Dalamar]

I've had this CF lid for a while.
here's the process to get it on.

Trimmed the inside for the backing off of the 98...

Filled with sound deadening foam

piece fits in like so.

The lid has some nuts cast into it for the hinge and trim. screws that came with it were panheads....
picked up some countersunk head screws, same thread.

Re wired everything, the main harnas plug was in a different spot, fog light & 12V power source....
The switches i've added:
Covered switch with the plate over the holes: dual boost controller switch.
Red switch on base of console: Overdrive on/off
yellow switch on the side: trunk

Rewired

Picked up some matched Dye paint from a paint supply store.
1 coat of adhesion promoter, 2 coats dye/paint.

Switches and lid attached.

Next the interior doner car for the 67 had this nice leather e brake boot on it I saved.
Here's the process to switch it out.

remove old piece from under side of console - plastic trim ring is stapled on...

pulled out all the staples.

coat each side with rubber cement, let dry, and press together. cut holes to line up with anchor studs.

finess into place, and reattach:

after all these shenanigans, put her in the car and she's all done!

excellent, what you gonna use the switch for?

 

[Dalamar]

the covered rocker - dual boost controller

 

[JoshHooten]

Very cool. The things you guys come up with.

 

[OnyxCobra]

hmm looks like i posted too soon lol. Came out great man, looks perfect.

 

[Dalamar]

Thanks guys. i'm happy with how it turned out.

 

[V8POWA!]

came out so nice man, I really want to swap consoles too.

 

[greenscobie86]

Excellent work!

 

[US Soldier(stang 98)]

nice work Jeff you really do have some badass skills

 

[Ferocious]

Thats really neat. I love what you did with the overdrive button.

 

[Dalamar]

thanks guys.

Ferocious, i like it a lot better there. I'm tall and sit way back in my seat. so it's a stretch to reach that button where it is stock.
where it is now is ergonomic or something

 

[g36 monkey]

Jeff is amazing.

 

[Dalamar]

That's what I hear from all the ladies

Next item of business, Canton oil separator.

Oow, shiny!

Put it here.

Didn't want the hose running across the IM and all that so I routed it below the expansion tank, along the front.
Had to pick up a new/longer hose. The connection by the turbo is a tight bend, so I got this bendy coil thingie to help with it.
will try to snap a finished photo after work today.

Nice work man looks good!

But...more importantly...you've done all this insane motor work, and body work...and you're still rockin stock cloth seats? WTF is up with that?

 

[Venomized]

Hmmmm I like how you did the color. What was the exact product and stock number you used for the dye? I want to use it over the gauge shield or whatever to match the pass side instead of having one black piece out of place lol

 

[Dalamar]

Thanks JB.

I know man, WTF is my deal on that?!
I actually ordered a Corbeau A4 wide, micro swede seat last month! BUT it was too narrow in the shoulders. I want seats, but the need to fit me good.
my stock clothies look pretty good eh

I had a paint supply store match me up 2 spray cans, used my old console as a sample.

If you're repainting here's the steps I did:
-scuff with scotch pad
-wipe down with prep all
-1 coat of bulldog adheasion promoter
-2 coats paint
