Sweet :)

Paint it a good colour too. A nice red or blue metallic are my suggestions. Like Seduce or Shockwave.

Or... BA series Blood Orange.

Decided to change the materials used for the center console moving towards a 4mm folded aluminium sheet. Took a lot of learnings from the polycarbonate mockup, so this was still a worth while exercise. I have designed the entire console in TurboCad and its currently getting laser cut and folded. Once complete it will be wrapped in leather and then two sides put on. Here is the PDF file for reference. I will upload images once I get it back.

So the laser cutting went to plan! AG Holding did a great job in Braeside Vic. It's coming together well! Small square plates will be welded to the underside of the console at a certain offset to the edge. These will then be tapped and allow me to bolt on the sides easily.

I will provide an update as things progress further.

Amazing build mate been following this one closely.

I can see how much effort and craftsmanship is going into this build but it's still not obvious to me what direction you are taking with the car, is it going to be a highly detailed show car or are you going to drive the wheels off it?
