The console is a focal point of any 63 to 67 Corvette interior.  It houses the shifter and separates the seats.  After 30+ years, it starts to show its age.  The satin aluminum trim gets worn.  The black painted surfaces becomes scratched and the shifter boot always seems to get a tear in it.  Any of these problems can turn an otherwise nice interior into a shabby one.  The remedy is simple.  A console makeover.  Everything you need is readily available from Zip Products and the entire project can be done in one afternoon.  Our Project 64’s console had started to show its age so a makeover was in order.  Follow along as we convert our console from an eyesore to eye appeal.

LEFT: These are all of the items Zip supplied for the project:  Console trim, 4-speed boot and retainer, ashtray receptacle, lid and guides, console mounting screws and mount brackets and the center console bezels.  You will also need some Semi-Gloss Black Spray Paint, 3M 08984 Adhesive Cleaner, 1/4” and 3/4” masking tape, chrome polish, fine scuff pad, tack rag and some ordinary hand tools.
