    Not sure whereabouts in Vic your son is, but if possible I'm also interested in having him do the glovebox thing in my DX. I'm in Gippsland, near Traralgon.

    I reckon it could be a popular thing if you got some kits going. As long is there isn't too much variation between series' dashes. Either you will end up making a steady profit from now until the Y61 ends in museums, or at least a good amount until someone else knocks up one.

    My idea for you is:

    Produce two different levels of kit: Bare components, and pre-built.

    Offer some way of letting people customise the interior shelves for whatever they have: tablet, phone, 12v outlet knockout etc. So one basic design, but have the shelf bit able to be adapted two or three ways to suit the buyer.

    Good luck!

    Great idea, will have to look at this now I have a 99gu. I have a hideaway safe under the seat but this is much nicer . Your son is pretty good with the metal work to.
    Seemed like a good idea at the time
