I think we are going to end up making a custom hump – gives us an excuse to brush up on english wheel skills. I may try to use parts of the original – we’ll see. Mustang one won’t work that well as it is set up for a car with a complete console (as they all have consoles). It is somewhat square/box shaped and will not work well with stock carpet. That is my only concern at the moment is fitting carpet over this as I am not using a console. Want to make the front of the interior very simple. Stock dash, Sparco seats, somewhat period looking shifter/handle and that is it.
In order to get the lines perfectly straight – we ended up making a custom guide on the sheet metal brake and cut reliefs in it to go up and down contours. Worked like a charm. You just rest the tip of the plasma cutter against the guides and cut away. There is now very little gap on both sides. Took more time that I had wanted to get right.. but it was worth it.
