Budget Build Twin Turbo LT1

[Bandit723]

Thanks, I wish I could take credit for it but found a thread recently from another member that did it and decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did, saved me a couple bucks and looks really good.

+ it has the coveted cup holders

Can you post a link to the thread that the person used the 5th gen console.

No problem, here is the link that I borrowed the idea from. I haven't mounted it yet but it fits really well. I have a vintage air unit that hits the right front side panel of the console slightly so I'll have to trim it back but other than that I didn't see any issues. My console was super cheap but didn't have the insert where the shifter goes so I plan on making one out of plexiglass.

so does the stock automatic shifter fit this console?

I personally have not tried the stock 73-81 auto shifter, I was planning to use the 2010-15 auto shifter, but after talking with another member the other week I may have to switch directions with the shifter. Now this other member did use a Hurst quick silver for a second gen in the 2010-15 console in his car.

Cool...Hurst Quick Silver is not a bad unit.

Started working on the pass rear 1/4 patch and cut out a small section to see what I'm dealing with. Doesn't look too bad behind it.

Here is the back of the metal.

Looks better than mine did

Ya, I'm fortunate it looks like just the outer sheet metal was trashed. I was worried all the body filler soaked up water and rusted the backside but it looks pretty good.
