installing a center console from a camaro in my gbody

Very nice! I like the console..the seats are pretty cool, too.
I wouldn't mind installing that console with the center handbrake.

How did that work with the B&M quicksilver shifter?

My car is still in for paint..should be priming it tomorrow...if you are interested once it's painted I'll remove the console to take a picture of how I mounted the handle and then when I'm switching out the rear end I'll take a picture of the bracket I fabricated for the junction of the cables...it's not too difficult as long as you have the tools.

Sure, I'd love to see pics of the handbrake set-up and new bracket configuration. Thanks for the offer.

I knew a guy several years ago that had the earlier 3rd generation F-body console in a Malibu coupe. He also installed the center hand brake. I thought that was a pretty cool upgrade.
I really would like the GP console, but these might be easier to find and within reason. However, I would like the forward part of the console sort of under the dash like the GP console.

yea if you can keep me posted on that handbrake i have the handbrake i just haven't got to putting it in yet and for shifting the tach angles up towards me and on top of that the shift light blinds me when its time to shift and it works well with the quicksilver the only other mod i had to do to fit it around the shifter was were the ashtray up top i had to open it and notch a piece away to fit around the bracket for the shifter cable

right on the money the shift light blinds me when to shift and yea i would like to see the handbrake thanx

I'll start a thread on the handbrake installation....one of reasons I put it in is I'm running a standard and at my age all those pedals could confuse me so it was great getting rid of the parking brake pedal.....

RIGHT ON!
