the only pics i have are from our shop and took tons of time to fabricate. Most of them are fiberglass and some are metal. All of ours are fabricated on bare metal cars, so thats a little different than doing something like this in a complete car.
We usually set up a very very rough cardboard walls around the area of the console. Then fill the area with expanding foam. Carve the foam to the shape you want and cover with bondo. Apply mold release and glass overtop. The shell will pop right off and allow you to remove all of the crap underneath. Bodywork and modify your fiberglass shell to your needs. Then paint or wrap.
