Thanks again,

There is no science to it. It's just a lot of work cutting everything out and fiberglassing it together. I know people make it sound difficult and don't get me wrong, it's no easy task if you're not familiar with this sort of thing but if you're comfortable working with fiberglass, have a lot of time and patience and don't mind spending a couple hundred on parts and materials, it's just like any other custom project that requires attention to detail. Now I'm not saying run out and buy a bunch of fiberglass and start cutting if this is your first crack at something like this but if you've done this type of work before, there is no reason you wouldn't be able to get the same results we did. It all comes down to your comfort level. If you've never done this before, start with a smaller project and work your way up and you'll be fine but you cannot just jump into this with water behind your ears or you'll end up with really bad memories and you'll be looking for a new center console.
