filler- run pipe to the new one. Going to have to be a little more specific on the console if you want any help.

Put a hinge on one side, on the other side put a 'push-release' magnet thing, cant remember the real name, but you can get them at furniture suply places. You see them on glass doors on entertainment centers alot, it has a magnet that holds the onto a metal striker plate, then when you push it it pops in and releases the striker plate, letting the door swing open.

You'll need to fabricate a hinge and weld it to the inside of the body most likely.

Pick up some truck magazines and see how other people do it. I wouldnt weld it, bolting alows for adjustment..... mike is addicted to welding though.

Pff...if you're good you wont need to adjust it. You still need to weld a bracket to the body, unless you want bolts coming out the side of your car.

I like the bolts comming out of the side of my car. They are sexy.
