    Ken , You might be able to mount the lokar parking brake handle between to the drivers seat and the tranny tunnel.There looks to be room there. I was going to do that with mine to keep it hidden if I didnt make a custom console from scratch. :bigsmile:


    I was planning on doing that,but there unfortunately wasn't room on the sides :-\

    Absolutely awesome car and build. One the one hand I wish I would have found this build earlier as there are a number of things I would have included in my car, however on the other hand I am a little glad I didn't because I would be even further behind.  :money:

    I am really interested to see what you do with the dash and instrument cluster. I love the console, super clean. How did you make it?

    I am at the rear bumper mod stage myself, I didn't go the Camaro route, rather stayed with the cuda bumpers as I thought it would be easier. I originally planned to paint them, then reconsidered leaving them chrome, however am now back to painting them.

    Keep the pictures coming, great inspiration and guide.

    on a side note; I am Norwegian decent (grandfather came over in the early 1900's). I visited Oslo several years ago and was amazed at the number of Mopars there.

    Thanks! :)

    I have something in mind about the instrument cluster,the plan is something with a modern look.

    The center console is from MCI in the US and its really well made :thumbsup:

    I also used Cuda bumpers on my car,was planning to use Camaro bumpers,but changed my mind.

    It was popular to emigrate to the US from Norway in the 1800-1900's,  I have some family in the US myself.

    I am interested to see what you do with the instruments. I built my own cluster but am thinking of redoing it. I like how it looks, but when I did it I didn't have the skills I do now and think I could do better.

    Yes, it is looks nice and would work, but it is heavy and difficult to install cleanly. I an going to build another one with Speedhut gauges and a factory bezel. Have the parts coming now.

    Very nice build and I love what you did on the lower part of the body, makes it stand out. :ylsuper: I'm swedish and currently working in Norway so I actually really enjoyed reading the magazine publication! Thanks, and hope you can continue updating the progress here..
