It really shouldn't take this long

I've been fabricating this center console for way too long now....... I'm almost done, need to sand and clearcoat it. I wanted to take the center console out because with the aluminum seats bolted directly to the floor it was way too high. I'm making a carpet piece to go down the tunnel and then cover the trunk/gas levers. I'm embarrassed to say how many hours I've spent building this silly little thing...

Who cares how long its taking.

Its going into your car, and you're making it. It looks great imo ;)

Would've probably taken me a few weeks to do the same. I get scared when I start fabricating shit haha

Made the bends with a cheap HF sheet metal brake. Spent half the time just making the cardboard template. I expanded the basic FM heat shield with the same material. I'm one of those mechanics that likes to think about what I'm building about a billion times before, during, and after it's done. Takes forever! :) BTW, pls excuse the messy workbench, it's not usually this bad....

Nice, I'll have to get me one of those.
