Just to answer some questions: The inside of the console is not done, I have some cool ideas for it but I need to run the ideas past the officer. Next, The lid needs to be fixed. I did not account for the extra foam on the side, just the wood thickness so it looks "off" which is why I think some of you think it looks "ugly". Finally, I appreciate the feedback and hope you guys enjoyed the video!
For the inside, I think if you used the plastic that you used around the switches and form an inner box that would cover the vinyl and staples. This would work well on the inside of the box lid too. Maybe use black countersink screws. You might even be able to hide the hinge this way. Failing that, you could use very thin carpet (we call it office carpet, dunno what they call it where you are) glued to the inside.
+mcmcolm Good idea!
+ChrisFix Thanks for the update. I had a feeling you had more in store. Now I cannot wait to see what it might be.
+ChrisFix All good, Chris! Appreciate you taking the time to make videos. I'm sure documenting this process wasn't the easiest and of course, we all make mistakes. Keep up the great work!
When will be the next episode of project police??
You gotta admit he's creative
He is
Thats why his channel is running
And handy
Yeah I agree
Nope the best
I followed the instructions but accidentally made an ejector seat and now I'm stuck in a tree.
+Trakker I guess I need to make a video on how to build a jet pack to get you down!
Instructions unclear, married cat
You still in the tree or did you get yourself down 4 years ago
@@fattratt0 i checked, hes still there

I don't know why I watched this I own a motorcycle
I actually have a "center console" on my motorcycle xD Or well, the tank acts as the console and there is a storage space with electronic lid in the top of the tank ^^
Daniel Kemnitz good luck doing that on a SMC690 😂
mine is a Pegaso 650, so not too far off from dual sports and adventure bikes :D But yea, it would be a bit awkward on an SMC690 xD
And man, you don't want to let your dreams be dreams. Just do it!XD
Yotam K is it right hand drive?
I own a car but it already has a good center console. Huge storage space and 2 (mediocre) cupholders that come out of the console. Also works as a really good armrest.
I have no idea why I watched this.
am i the only one that watched this full video with no intentions whatsoever to build a center console?
+Allan Guzman Thanks for watching Allan! I appreciate that and hope you enjoyed the video!
Hey chris can you build me a centerconsole just like that with the same equipment except the siren. I'm getting a 2011 crown vic police interceptor for a Firefighter POV need a center console.
ChrisFix your the best!
Nope
Nope
All this work and no cupholders!
+Hermit527 the car already has cup holders that come out of the dash board
You can see them right in front of the toggle switches. They pull out of the dash.
L
Yeah but more is better you never know what your going to use them for
+Hermit527 It has cup holders in the coin tray.
I know you probably won't see this comment, but I love the amount of positivism and enthusiasm you put into your videos and into your work. Thank you for doing what you do Chris. I appreciate it.
Thanks a lot man! I appreciate the support!
Levi he did see it. 😂 😆 😝
Yep
Congrats on him commenting on ur comment
I bet the cop you did all this for was thankful for all your work. I also hope that he watched your videos too
not entirely sure why everyone is hating on the quality lol, last time I checked he's a mechanic not a carpenter .... nice job, IT GOT THE JOB DONE. awesome Chris. we still, all learned something.
+Keith Thanks a lot!
He's also a cook the guy does it all
Sometimes good enough is good enough! It's not a show car! I'm gonna try to get mine to look a little better, use a cloth backed vinyl and a heat gun. If I don't like it, THEN I'll spend the $250 and give mine to my kid for his jeep. If I like it, I'll help him build one too! I reupholstered the convertible top on my '57 Tbird (not a show quality car but a driver). Used a how to video I bought and it turned out good enough for me. Saved a ton of money and allowed for shrinkage. The pro's would have gotten a nicer fit but it wouldn't have lasted once the vinyl started shrinking. Happened to my dad back in the day had he had to redo his himself!
Personally I thought it was ugly at first, but once it went into the car it looked amazing.
Its amazing what you can achieve with a little creativity and patience.
+argonian bilbo Exactly! That is what my videos are all about! Going out of your comfort zone and trying things for yourself!
That's the only place you can find growth! Man you're equipping me with so much knowledge for the rebuild of my campervan.
in europe we put a gear stick right there :D
+yaron algoet (YARAL10) Nice! You can always make a hole!
thanks for the tutorial :D
And a handbrake. :)
I think it is automatic transmission so it doesn't need one
Usually in North America we have ours there too! But with police cars, they relocate the gear stick to the dash. But in minivans and some trucks, they are on the dash from the factory. Example, My neighbor bought a retired police ford explorer from 2014 and the gear stick was on the dashboard but the same car, for civilians, had the gear stick on the console! :D It's kind of dumb but they need their radars and light controls and custom switches and blah blah blah all that stuff there. also, everywhere in the world has at least a few cars that have the gear stick on the dash but still all country's have the majority of there cars with the gear stick on the center console.
Its so funny when you say, “its all that simple” 😂
cool, but you should sand the edges of the plastic deck as well, and round the corners on the front of it
+OG Saldus That is a good idea! Thanks!
:D
Very nice work Chris. A lot of work went into making that center console. You can buy some really nice ready-made center consoles for around $100. You can buy one, then modify it, which is what I would do. You can use corner brackets on the inside, rather than screws on the outside.
That would work. as long as the screw doesnt come out tye other side. That wouldnt be good
You’re crazy it looks like shit
Tyson Hosmann you know damn well you don’t know how to start in building a center console
@@tysonhosmann1591 OHHHHHHHHH he cursingg man he cursingggg
@@tysonhosmann1591 ok make a center console
Chrisfix- I would have never thought of tackling a project like that. Now that I've seen it I might try it out in the future. You did great work on this one and you always hang it out there. Keep it up! Thanks for the inspiration.
+Pattyp Thanks a lot bud! The only way you can fail at something is to not try it at all! It is a lot of fun to see what you can come up with!
"Whoop whoop whoop" 😂 that sounds like me. 😂😂
+Cecilia Warren idc
+Skiddit um, did I ask for your fucking opinion? Nope. Goodbye irrelevant ass. I don't give a dam that you don't care. Fuck you.
+Cecilia Warren maaan
+Cecilia Warren attitude lmao xd
Cecilia Warren obviously you do cause you responded back
God took his time when he decided to create you. You're the reason why I've gotten into learning about cars.
there is no god
+eduardo rodriguez god must have dropped you when he created you lol. it was a compliment you buzz kill.
Me too, Robert!
Chrisfix taught this girl how to change her own oil and replace the filter.
+eduardo rodriguez stfu, no one asked you anything
Something is extremely satisfying about watching this... I feel your excitement Chris!
your excitement for your work really shines through man! I got so hyped just watching
I remember watching this video a long time ago and I still love and remember it.
Hey Chris. I love the videos. Just some tips from an upholsterer. Keep those staples close and flush with the fabric. Don't angle the staples or it has an increased risk of coming apart. Stretching the foam over the edges or edge stapling the foam to the wood will help it to look cleaner. I upholster chairs and sofa consoles at La-z-boy. Keep up the great videos.
awesome job Chris! can't wait to start my automotive journey in a few months!
+raphael crousset Thanks a lot! I am glad you are excited to join the community!
Idk why but whatever he makes or works on turns out SOOO much better than you thought
It looks great Chris! Keep up the good work and the awesome videos!
Dude this is a great video I love this type of stuff
i love how he has random car rims in his living room
I think those are from the Jag he parted out.
@@ThatWolfWithShades no this video is a couple years before that
All these people telling you to buy a factory made console don't understand the satisfaction of making something on your own. Honestly the console has exceeded my expectations and I think it looks amazing, especially with minimal tools and cheap materials. Great work, my friend!
+SleepyChow Exactly and thanks a lot bud!
Some people say it looks bad, but to be honest I like it. It's very utilitarian and fits the police style very well. Nice work!
Chris I'm glad and really happy of your youtube success.... I came across your channel 1 day when I was bored looking at oil change videos and I subscribed... I was there when you had less than 20k subs.... However with the success comes the ugly side of youtube.... The Trolls!!! please understand that you are awesome and we appreciate you keep the great work up!!! Thanks for being you!
I agree with Arlind. You're my favorite TH-camr!
It's also going in a cop car. So it doesn't need to look that beautiful. Just needs to get the job done. What Chris built gets the job done and then some. It's not a rolls Royce folks.
+TJC450 Thats not a great mentality to have. So what it doesnt need to be beautiful, you should still make it as good as possible. Considering he is building that car to a client.
+MrMotaEST your not gonna home make it if you want it really nice. He made it to get the job done
True
@@s1bulka But knowing Chris, he's probably doing it for free. And most cops aren't gonna care how pretty it looks as long as it works.
@@rmaul2469 you can custom make one at home that looks way better then factory, just follow a proper upholstery video to get better techniques. chris just covered the basics and not very well. but hey, he got the job done.
Nice Job Chris! Love watching your videos
this is the most satisfying video i've ever seen. keep up the great work Chris!
Who needs a center console when you can use a milk crate
ONE, NO MORE
That's awesome Chris I'm gonna do that in my old car. Keep up the good work!
+JP Yanez Awesome man! Make sure you take pictures for me! I want to see!
Wow these projects you've done including this armrest are super doper Uber AWESOME! Speechless!
watching these videos is just learning weird niche things you may never have to do, but you will know how!
love this channel
Love how he just hit the siren buttons and made woo woo woo noises xD
Woop woop
holy smokes.. why are you so genius Chris? lol
Thanks alot Chris! I just got a 61 Chrysler imperial and alot of your videos have been helping me restore it. So keep up the great work! And thanks again!
Ooook after watching around 150-200 videos from your channel in the winter I cannot wait for the spring to come to do modifications on my car 😃
This is honestly my favorite TH-cam series keep up the great work
+N.D.M Beast Mode Thanks a lot! More to come!
Who else wondered how many times his staple gun ran out
covering panels with fabric is similar chair/ottoman covering. adding that bit more of detail really brings a great touch of class.
Even though i might be the only one watching this 2 years later note i already watch this but i like his videos so i like rewatching them. 90% of the people here are not going to build a center console but we watch this becsuse you are so entertaining love you bro.
That does look nice I'm not going to lie. Nice work, Chrisfix...
i've been waiting for this
Ive been following you for about 5 years now. Ive never posted a comment on ur videos. The thing i have to say is, you really deserve what u have achieved so far👍 keep up the good work👍
Anyone else just find these so nice to watch because everything just goes and fits so well according to plan.
It takes a lot of work to get it to that point, but I'm glad you find the videos satisfying!
i like it good job chris :)
All respect to you
That looks really good Chris. You make working on my car much more fun than it used to be! 👍🏻
Dude that is so awesome, I've been subbed to you forever and every time I mosey over to your channel I'm blown away.
Awesome job and thank you for sharing all you do!!!
I really want to see the police officer's reaction to his car lol
+Lizard818 Same. I have yet to see him in person. I just drop my truck off and take his car
you might want to round the edges on the plastic where the switches are, so he doesn't hit his knee on it
I am so glad someone thought of doing this video. I am bidding on an aftermarket console from a police department in Ohio. It is an auction site. If I lose that auction, I will be building some variation of what you made. I work in security and direct traffic for utility companies. I have lights in my car that I use for those jobs and will be hardwiring all of it. I also have other equipment that will go into the console. Thank you.
Awesome video Chris! It looks really good. I'll definitely try this out on my truck!
Can't wait for all the wiring, that's what I'm really interested in. The console looks good, but the screws in the plastic stand out, maybe use flat heads instead and paint them, or cover with some plastic caps?
+Choujeen thats why he used stainless screws because they are more appealing to the eye, you could use black screws too but then it just looks like you tried to hide them and it didnt work. I like the stainless look myself.
Personally, I think gluing that front piece in would've helped ensure it was securely in place. I think spray painting the inside of the armrest black would've been a nice touch too. Otherwise, this turned out pretty great - good work.
i wouldve at least put a couple of screws from the bottom up into the front piece and used the abs plastic screws on top
+Peter Schmidt There is no reason to glue the front piece. It allows for quick access to the electrical wires when it gets wired in. As for the inside of the arm-rest, you could do more if you want. That is all up to the individual. In this case, I am not sure what the officer wants. maybe he wants a gun holster in there or something like that so I did not finish the inside.
+ChrisFix i still thought it looked cool though
ChrisFix True, the quick access is definitely handy.
Good work, I wasn't expecting the foam + canvas combo to look so good
Great work. I am designing one for my Ford Taurus. I am going to have some curved panels, but I use to this along time ago. So your video help freshen my mind. Thank you. I think I will put a couple of cup holders in the place you were talking about putting a phone holder.
"The lid" 😂
"small cut" proceeds to make a 3 inch cut. Don't bully me tho lol I love you
It looks so comfy!
That's awesome man, it makes me happy to see the result !
Who watches these but never does them?
Hey Chris,
This was very thorough and it taught me a lot. Great job man!
One thing tho, what if you had used a memory foam for the padding? Any downside to doing that instead of just regular foam?
+zzzhuh Thanks! You can use memory foam if you want.
Good work my friend! Bang up job! I would suggeset getting one of those slip resistant mats that you typically put in your tool box or on your shelves in the kitchen to give a little bit of friction. That way the officer can put any size and type of device on that mat in that open space so they can directly look at it while driving and not worry about it sliding off when turning sharply. Great job man!
Awsome video's Chris, I really like all your video's. Very well explained.
Hey ChrixFix, I'm glad you're doing another police project car video after that. I think you can touch up and improve the center console a bit more, such as hide the staples from sight by putting plastic on the bottom of the flip cover, and the interior walls of the storage area. The storage area is deep, although I'm not sure if it could be utilized all that well. Could you show us how to add rear AC vents to the center console and make some kind of shelf storage system and add racks which would be more useful? Police Project Car Videos are always awesome, I'd be looking forward to Part 3 of center console with fine-tuning and maybe even an AC attachment!
Where's episode 5? Dude. Also you should put a speed radar in this thing!
th-cam.com/video/1-F0PIF8Hqo/w-d-xo.html
Im so exiting for the wiring! cant wait
I am in love with this channel , not only because the amazing DYIs. This guy has the perfect detailed instructions
Thanks a lot man! I am glad you enjoy the videos!!!
Is it me or does this look awesome or what ?
Way to go Chris, another job well done. Thanks for sharing friend.
+Steven G Thanks a lot Steven! I really appreciate it!
+ChrisFix you're more than welcome
Coming from a cop, I would let you work on my patrol vehicle any day!
+darryl sawyer Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it!
I followed the directions and it saved a lot of money for me So Thankyou for this video
Amazing! Your a factory bro! Keep up with the good work!☺☺
Hi Chris when is the "How to buy a used car part 2 coming out"
+chris smith Some time this month!
+ChrisFix thanks man I'm excited
Same I'm waiting
+chris smith Me too!
+ChrisFix btw congrats on your TH-cam channel :)
in this empty space should be place for cup or bottle ;)
So satisfying to watch
You're my hero chris. Thanks for your really explained videos that helped me to decide to fix car in the future. Right now I work in a restaurant. Thanks.
Holy cow when you were using the sandpaper it looked like you were The Flash
Maybe I am ;)
ep 5 its been like 5 months
Is very sad that lots of the comments are negative, but what makes it even sadder is the amount of hate in those negative comments.
We all know that Chris not a pro, and if ya don't like the videos simply don't watch em. Save all that negative $#!7 🖕
No, why?
+Cesar Ramos Totally negative hate comments are stupid but criticism ain't.
I like constructive criticism, but hate is never called for
Great video and build on the center console
I can't wait to see the finished version!
I really think you should round off the corners just a smidge on the switch plate.
I think once you reshape the lid to line up right... it'll look great. The corner folds on the fabric only look frumpy due to the mis-matched width of the lid.
Now would ya just LOOK AT IT
But wheres the cupholder for the donuts and coffee XD
ah yes the donut cupholder of course how could he forget
Why does this crown Vic have a gear selector in the steering?
These videos were really helpful. I bought an older Honda Element which could definitely use some extra storage and elevated cup holders between the front seats. Glad to know I wasn't too far off in my approach -- I was planning to make a cardboard mockup too. :-)
I love car channels and most are boring but yours is so fun and entertaining and not boring
if you feel like chris didnt do a good job on the console, then upload a video of you building one
Agree this guys taught me a lot love his videos
in one part of the video he goes makes sure dont have a hard edge. that's what she said.
😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
Damn
Matt
And what a great center console build!!
Awesome job Chris!
It was a nice job. Just wish you didn't leave the inside showing bare wood. Makes it look unfinished.
+TJC450 It's not finished inside because it is not finished in general. Needs to get wired up and the center console is going to get fixed up.
+ChrisFix Cool! Looking forward to it.
Extremely ugly, but also extremely useful and fun to do! like!
+Ricardo Iarossi thanks Ricardo
Another great video you have done a super good job
Can't wait to see the full car all set up already. Will we ever see more of these police cars made that would be very cool to do.
should of spray painted the inside black still looks good
+Kevin Tinajero That Or The Plastic He Used To Mount The Switches
+Kevin Tinajero Yea, you can always do whatever you want on the inside. I personally like the wood but that is the whole point of custom!
I couldn't do this.. Too OCD
I would freak over every wrinkle..
And I wouldn't have any idea what I'm doing but... Those wrinkles...
I haate working with leather, canvas and thouse stuff aa the wrinkles and it never turns out as i expect
Its not the prettiest thing in world but like the man said its fully functional and there is a certain pride in building things yourself. Good job.
Awesome job Chris! Some of the best workmanship on this channel. Keep up the good work bud. I have learned quite a few tricks from you and I look forward to more!
+9 ToedSloth Thanks a lot!
