Filed this out of a 1"x8"oak plank and hand sawed it into 3 pieces then sanded the crap out of them and some stain and if I'm lucky will be able to attach them to the pistol grip without breaking them. I think 3rd time is a charm but trying for the second time. lol

Decided to screw the idea of sewing a vinyl console lid on after screwing up twice so went with wood and I like it.
Interior is done other than getting new floor mats.

Now I can see how people can just sit and stare at a work of art. Because that's what I've been doing today. You knocked it out of the park! Congrats!

Would like to meet you some day but not looking good.
 
For at least another 2 weeks or so, it's COVID AND Election crap. Things may lighten up in February.
 
Just got notice from Magic City Dragway they set 2021 schedule regardless of border opening. Plan to be there in May. Hope to see you there Fred.

Keep me posted Gary I'd like to be there.
Been missing ya would be nice to meet up sometime and hang out.
 
Well I lied on being done with the console, after looking at it after a few drinks I grabbed a few tools and cut out some more wood.
I didn't like the way the wood ended as it went up to the dash so I added a bit more so now I'm done. lol
