renew the original central consoles of a non-AC car

Looks fantastic, how do you put the chrome trim on without bending it? I am doing the same, but find it very hard to put the trim on

ha, ha, ha,
my thumbs are not only legendary (as someone said once) but stronger than yours I guess
yes, use your thumbs, i feel almost imposible to avoid bending it using tools, thumbs give you control and precission,...

Just saw this for the first time today. Fantastic work and attention to detail. Very impressed. What can't you do?

Hi deQuincey,

I am about start this project, and your post(s) give me great confidence! One question - did you use a spray adhesive between 1) wood and foam, and/or between 2) foam and vinyl? I've seen auto-upholsters video to use a spray adhesive but your project looks as good.

Thanks, Rob.
