I found this pic from a while ago when i got the fibreglass dash parts and offered them up to see what it was going to look like... Lots of hours have gone into them since that pic was taken...

So the same process as the dash, i drew up the layout of the console and had it cut out of 3mm MDF, once finalised i had it cut out of laminate. Ford used lots of gauges and switches out of lots of vehicles for the works cars... The reverse lamp switch is out of a Jaguar and the Lucas amp gauge is from a Rover P5B coupe....

Once the paint was dry i decided i needed to fit RS type strut top reinforcing plates ( even tho it has large plates there already ) these will be more for looks as the other plates won't be seen once the engine bay is finished.
