I was bored last night, and sketched this out for the idea I eventually want to do for a custom console for my wagon. Would love to see yours, or any feedback. I know you guys can be brutal at times, but I'm ready.

IMO, the problem with most custom consoles is the sides look like a slab. They would look better with some horizontal embellishment, whether a raised rib, a recess, a molding, I don't know. Just seems like most are just a big flat surface that screams "look, I made this as simple as I could"
For what that looks like you could start with a second gen Camaro console and cut to fit I would think.
Raised rib for his pleasure?
Boxy console go good with boxy car.

Well, I'm no Dave Kindig or Chip Foose, but I think it gets the main idea across.

Was thinking starting with a Classic Truck Consoles (one of the site sponsors) and customizing it.

Good luck on the second-gen console. Looked for a year, finally bought a MCSS for the seats and console.
Boxy is fine, i just think if it were mine, I'd add some styling feature to break up the tall sides...but that's just me.
The drawing is good, I think it's a pretty clear drawing of what you're looking for.
I just like stuff to look a little more "OE"-influenced.
The CTC consoles struck me as super plain/generic/spendy for what they are.
If you look at the muscle-era consoles, most have some styling feature on the side.
Your car, your choice of course, just something to chew on.
Well, I want to do padded vinyl with a French seam along the edge. I'm looking for custom but clean. Obviously want to bring the functionality into the 21st century. I think if done right, my idea could look really nice. Of course, style is subjective, but it's what I'm aiming for.
I started on this prototype a while back. I will paint some of it before using solid rivets to assemble and decide if I like it or not.
I just wanted some cup holders and to fill the hole between the seats.

Wow...That looks awesome, dirtywhiteboy! Nice work! I think I still want to go stitched vinyl-wrapped fiberglass, but your design looks sweet.
