Thanks for all the comments guys! More console progress today, started off using Rotacutter to put a hole in the transmission tunnel for the shifter cable. The bulkhead seal that came with the cable has some mounting holes, we'll use some AVK style rivet nuts for ease of installation/replacement.







More anchors welded to the floor, some "crossmembers" fabricated, and welded into the console.





To locate the holes in the crossmembers, some spotters are set in the anchors, console placed, and crossmember tapped from above to mark.





Next we need to close off the front of the storage cavity to give us an anchor point for the latch. So we started the fabrication but found some limitations in our acute dies for the press brake.



Not quite enough bend, so we opted for a piece of sharpened 12 ga cold rolled to give us a bit more....





Trimmed and welded in place...
