I have a 2nd gen center console in my 1st gen and have been looking for an "upgrade". This could fit the bill but I'm concerned about the area where a locking box would go. Does the factory box fit in this area?

Also, probably want to put a link to your website in your signature.

Thanks David, www.modernclassicsinteriors.com . We make the glove boxes on our consoles, they are not factory glove boxes. This console is the same size as the original gen 2 console

Sounds good. I looked through the site and saw the nice selection of consoles. I was hoping the site had a few pictures of completed installs so I can see how people are covering the fiberglass and how the glove boxes are incorporated. I'll probably give you a call this week to talk more details. Thanks again.

Very cool, I would need a complete ready to install unit. Do you have pictures of completed/painted products installed?

MCI
02-06-2012, 03:24 PM
I should have some pictures soon. This console is only about 5 days old, so it might be a few weeks before I get any pictures of this console installed.

Is it fiberglass? Any idea about price? I want one!

Very nice product David.

I'm am also definitely interested, but would need some more details, such as pricing with and without the glove box and cup holders.

Pictures of the installed product would be sweet as well.

Also do you ship international?

Thanks

Can it be priced with no cupholders, just the lined glove box?

MCI
03-03-2012, 04:53 PM
Thanks Scott. Yes, it mounts under the dash like the original console and it can be ordered with just the glove box for $430. Free shipping .

While we're waiting for your website to be updated, any chance you could take stock 2nd gen consoles (auto and manual shifter) and put them next to this unit? I'd like to see where the shifter on the stock unit lines up with your product, as well as see how far forward the front vertical face is in comparison to the stock pocket at the front of the console.

Also, what's the material used to create the console and how thick is it? I can't tell from the pictures the firmness of the console or have ideas yet on where it's best to bolt up this sucka. Thanks.

Very nice! Once my T56 is installed and I know where the shifter will be I will be ordering one of these.

This is the console with the F body trim line. We also added the optional shifter plate. The original pictures show the full console before it is trimmed to fit. Although this console is designed for the F body, we wanted to make sure it would fit in just about anything by changing the trim line.

hey Mike if you are going that far, to make that work with 2nd Gen's how about an optional manual trans opening the size of the shifter tunnel?

We can do that. The shifter plate that you see in the picture can be modified to work with different set ups. We are currently working on modifications for the horseshoe shifter. When we are done with that I will take a look at this, I should be able to mold that right into our shifter plate.

i'm planning on installing a console in my 1969 Camaro that will work with a double din head unit. Your console for the second gen camaro looks like what I had in mind. Do you know if it will fit in a first gen. Do you have any pics of such an installation? I'd like to have 2 cup holders and a glove box, but wonder if that will leave room for power window switches?

We can send you a console that has not been trimmed for the gen two. That way you can custom fit it in your car. Check the measurements on our website to make sure it is the right length, we can shorten the arm rest a little if it is to long.

Any installed pictures that show the position in the car as it mates with the lower dash?

Sorry for the delay, spring break was great.
Ok, this is the factory trim line we have decided to go with on the Gen 2 console. The bottom trim line is lower than the factory line so we can cover more of the tunnel. We have trim lines established for this console to fit Gen 1 And Gen 2. The next one we pull out if the molds will be trimmed for the Gen 1, I will post some pictures of that when we have it. It is actually pretty close to the Gen 2 trim line.
We finaly have some finished pictures starting to roll in, my web guy is setting up a page on the website with project pictures this week.
Our product line is about to grow again too, we have 3 new consoles coming before the end of the month and a new full interior kit for 1st Gen Camaro and a kit for Mustangs. Here is a sneak peak at the dash brow plug for the Mustang.
The trim line on the dash brow is 1/8" above the router guide. This is a vac form plug, it requires a more complex flange and router guide than a fiberglass tool, so when you are looking at this plug keep in mind that every thing below the first step in the flage is trimmed away.

You guys do great work.....I'd be all over that if it'd work with how my shifter is offset mounted...but it wouldn't. I'll have to make something up custom.
Smooth design work, guys! I like how you can make it personalised with the different options.

Just on the Mustang/Camaro dash plug, don't suppose you can make them a little wider (ie extend the center section) and reverse to right hand drive? This would be for an Australian car that is a little wider than Camaros and Mustangs but I'd love to use one of these dashes as both parts and layouts are much better than the car I'm wanting to use them on.

Let's start with some pictures and the measurement between the A pilars at the bottom of the windshield. Straight accross, don't follow the shape of the windshield when measuring.

MCI,

Really interested in the Gen2 console, but I have a few questions for ya...

1) Do you have any pics of the Gen 2 console where it mates up to a Firebird dash?

2) How does the console mount to the floor pan, using the two exist brackets from the factory?

3) Is the console portion removable like the factor for access?

4) If the cup holder option is added, is this removable or is it fastened/molded to the main body?

Thanks!

I will make a couple of calls to get some pictures, is this a first gen body?
We don't supply any brackets, in most cases the console can be mounted to the bottom of the dash with two L brackets and one bracket at the back of the arm rest.
If you order the shifter plate with the console, yes, it is removable.
The cup holder is part of the main body.
Is your car a manual or automatic? We have two different shifter plates.
