OK, here's our update for the past couple weeks..


With console in place and bezel checked to proper height, anchors are set in place for welding to the floor pan. Bolted to shifter plate for proper alignment and standoffs used to provide space to get in there and weld...








And here we're cutting out our console lid...



Thinning bend lines for a more crisp bend...



A piece of round rod in our magnetic brake gives us radius-ed corners...



A few passes in the Tommasini Wheeling Machine gives a bit of crown for better support



Corner details TIG welded in...



Corner detail test fit...



There we go, all caught up!
