Can anyone steer me in the right direction, I am looking for someone who can build me a complete center console for my 67 Camaro that runs from the top of the standard center dash area down to the transmission tunnel and back to just in front of the rear seat, I want something that looks more modern, (trying to blend old and new, like most everyone on here), and make it unique with some interesting touches. I have a design in mind and am planning on building a mold out of MDF or cardboard and cover it with fiberglass. Some may ask why not just do the whole thing out of fiberglass but I would really like to incorporate the cf look into the interior more than just my Covan gauge pod and a shifter handle, it's sort of a theme I am designing into the interior. Thanks in advance for any info.

If you have the skills to mock it up or even build it out of fiberglass then I'd say go for it yourself and just cover top with a CF cloth. It's a laminating or overlay process. Check out www.fibreglast.com and thier board (http://www.fibreglast.com/phpBB2/) for starters.
