66 Barracuda center console

Good evening everyone,
I have seen some great work done on the A body center consoles and I think my time has come to try to do the same.

I am thinking of trying to sand and prep the lower section of the console to repair the storage area/mounts with fiberglass then paint the whole thing. As for the metal top I'm not sure, brass wire brush what I can and then filler and paint where needed. As for the slider on the cigarette lighter Im not sure how I'll fix it yet.

i appreciate any and all advice from those of you who have done this work before me. And I'm a considering buying used, some others that have been posted for sale as an option too.

Thanks.
