I think the pictures may show some of the mistakes he can ultimately sort out in fiberglass. with that said, i would have used something a little bit smaller in stature for the wood. There's a lot of potential to do something really cool sitting right there. Remember your OEM console probably has a few switches in it, and is shaped to fit the tranny tunnel. If you can find a battered stock console in a J/y for a template it would probably help you out a great deal.You can even use 2 part epoxy to glue roving to it. If you do it right, it should look like it belongs there. If you do it wrong...well....It'll be on thereifixedit.
I look forward to seeing the rest of this build. So there.
