ok, I'm loosing my mind AND my emails. I accidentally deleted an email I got from someone who can make these specifically for a Backdraft. Who was it ? Skinnedr? Rodknock? please sent me your contact email again. Sorry.

OK, cats out of the bag. I designed and build the S/P consoles for Mike Stenhouse at SecondStrike.com. I also build the BDR version that debuted at the London Cobra Show last month. Should anyone be interested in a BDR version, I can be reached at arevetti@atlanticbb.net. or (716) 244-2638. You can find cheaper consoles, you will be very hard pressed to find one that can compete with our quality (extensively tested, this console has exceeded all expectations.)
Please order S/P consoles thru Mike. For anyone who has not yet had the pleasure to meet Mike, he is an exceptional cobra owner who has done much for the sport as proven on his SecondStrike website.

Hope this clears up a few questions.
Tony.

hi
here it's work-in-progress center console with armrest for my scratch built 289

[RodKnock]

It's smaller and simpler than I expected, for some reason, but the quality appears fine. There's not a lot of padding on top, so I wouldn't call it luxurious.

I just received my BDR console from Secondstrike.com, aka Stroked 66, who posted above. It is awesome! Very high quality. I got the taller one and it fits and matches perfectly.

The quality seems to be much better than the one posted by SKINNDR. Notice how the Secondstrike carpet and lid color matches. I am sure it took a lot of effort to get the colors correct on this. I sent them color samples that they matched it. It seems like all carpets are a different shade so I played it safe and I sent a small sample for them to work from.

Notice from the pictures that my e-brake handle is fully up and the shifter is in Reverse. No clearance issues.

Don't be fooled by cheap imitations.

OK, here's the story! My business is custom design & fabrication, and after reading about, and seeing multiple photos of differant center consoles, I have decided to build a "piece" for my Superformance. I'll be working on it in the next week and will post photos after I've installed it & feel satisfied with it!

Revman, what do mean by cheap immitation? Obviously you are already committed and you are stuck with what you have. You must be blind to make a statement like that. Take another look at mine and you can never compare. Obviously you are influenced.
Cheap immitation, how do you quantify that? Cheap immitation similar to the original Cobra vs Replica? Is that what you are saying?
Remember I came up with the first BDR console version. These are all custom built, do you understand that?
I'm an engineer, I design and build from scratch.
Take another look...

[Revman]

Dex, I did not mean to offend you. It is just that I wanted it to look like it was made for the car, not an add on. The one I got from SecondStrike matches perfectly so I could not be happier. The carpet on the base is a dead match for my BDR carpet and the grey leather on the top matches as well. Matching carpet and leather is not as easy task, but if you go trying to paint or stain yours, we will find that out. Best of luck to you.

Yo Revman, I am not in the business of stealing anyone else's idea or undercutting the price of anything being sold out there in Cobraland! Did you happen to notice that your Cobra replica is just that, a "replica" of the original! I design [as in create] & fabricate to a "high-end" market [www.outfrontdesign.com] and will make my center console from matte black acrylic and/or stainless steel. Furthermore, automobile center consoles are not exactly a new & original idea and if I care to produce a better "mouse-trap", I shall, with or without your opinion.

Amen and thank you for making that statement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what America is all about....
Hope that gets through.......................

[Revman]

Why is everyone trying to steal the business from SecondStrike? They came up with a great idea, built a very high quality product, and are offering it for a great price. They also participate at the shows and are a group that will stand behind their products. Why try to undercut them?

Personally I would never buy for someone that attempts to steal someone elses idea and use it for personal profit.

If anyone has any specific questions about my BDR console, I would be happy to try to answer them.

Thanks,
Revman

Who would of thought. The great armrest smackdown of 2009.

I have a special "top secret" hybrid version on order that is based one of the aforementioned vendors designs. I will report back when I receive the armrest this week.

SMACK is the right idea....

Here are some pictures of the armrest that I ordered from Tony Revetti (who makes the armrest for Second Strike). It's the exact same armrest that Second Strike sells, but it's 4" tall instead of 8" tall. I decided to go with a 4" height because my seat has no rails and is mounted directly to the floorboard.

For those SPF owners, the armrest blends PERFECTLY with the interior and Tony will try to match your interior if it has faded at all. The quality is top notch and and the unit is so solid that it really doesn't even need to be attached with screws or Velcro to the tunnel

Doug, did you get all the same dimensions as mentioned on the website, but reduced the height down to 4"? Did you get one cupholder or two?

Can a black lid be made and installed? The pic of yours looks gray to me.

Doug,

I orderd a full size from second strike.

Rodney,

Yes, mine is the exact same dimensions of the standard unit, but 4" high vs. 8" high. It has two cupholders, I just took a picture with one out.

The lid is black and matches the color of the seats (it is slightly lighter than seats and does show a little more gray depending on the light). The carpet is an exact match. For some reason the grain of the leather armrest makes it look more gray in the pictures that I took. The pictures of the armrest with the seats on Second Strike are a much better representation.

I did not go back and read all the postings, but in case the vendor has not been mentioned. In the Oct edition of Kit Car Builder on page 38 & 39 of the London Cobra Show, Custom Cobra Consoles, no personal experience with the company/product, first time that I have seen their website.
