Default My new T56 Center Console Cover..

I bought it with a broken Ash Tray, cut all that out with the Dremel and used some Aluminum Flashing that I had here to fill in the hole. Then I used some double sided Tape to attach the Z28 Badge.
I think it looks better..

Looks very nice ! Can you hide the two screws (It would look perfect if you could remove those items). Still looks great either way....

Thanks guys.
I can't remove the Screws..it was that or Rivets. I placed the Screws as evenly as I could with each other to make it look sharp.

Yup..been gathering parts up. I got the Bell Housing, T56 Cross Member, and the Petals. All I need now is the Hydraulics, and the Shifter & ****. I'm buying the Transmission and the Clutch/Flywheel/Pressure Plate Kit when I get back from Iraq in Febraury.

I'll post a Thread of everything when I finish it.

I wish I could see this picture at work. The one on my Formula is broken and rattles if I leave it shut. I want to just get rid of the damn thing.

Not so sure about the bare aluminum look but, ah well.. I agree its better than a busted ashtray. Maybe consider spraying the aluminum black to match the plastic? Nifty idea by the way.
