Need pics: coolest/swoopiest consoles&trans tunnels

[Flipper]

I'm gonna have 4 whole days to work on dad's truck (48 chevy pickup on a S-10....body is all the way down on the frame....trans way up in the body).

One of the projects is gonna be to fab the trans cover and driveshaft tunnel.

I was thinking about integrating a console into the trans cover to hide the Lokar shifter mechanicals ......all one piece. Anybody ever seen that. Is that gonna cause me problems? (Should it be 2 seperate pieces?)

Oh yeah, I also need to work cup holders into the design (He plans on driving the hell out of this truck).

I need some insperation to come up with something cool.

I wouldn't call this the "coolest/swoopiest consoles&trans tunnels", but it is what I did with mine.  It has worked well and I wouldn't really do any of it different if I did it again.  I do wish it still looked that good, but the miles will take the newness away and I wouldn't trade them for a perfect truck .

There are more pictures ( HERE ).
