audiocontr Yet to get mine, but Im a bit further east =)
I would expect it to be there tomorrow. When shipped the estimated date to you was the 21st. Let me know if it does not show up and I will have it tracked.
Many thanks to Brad for the help and use of his wood shop to get these units built in a timely manner. Brad is able to make just about anything you can come up with out of wood for the pinz given some time and Tim is our metal guy for fabrication of the armor packages we all use, together a couple of great resources for customizing our trucks.

4x4Pinz:
I've made a couple of boat and car items out of "King Starboard" polyethene marine decking material:

The 1/2 inch matt black works like wood, holds screws well, lighter than MDF and is weatherproof.
Do you think your design would work in that material?

reading the care and working direction, I don't think it would hold up to the engine heat. I was also concerned about the oils that would stain the surface as it is after all the engine access cover. I am sure the product could be worked into the console just don't know how it would hold up to the heat and oils.
Looks like a great product for some applications. Do you know a cost of the product? Would be nice to find a product similar that is inexpensive and easy to work with.

4 years ago, a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 inch grey, textured (non slip) starboard was $140.00. I made some deck plates out of it for a fishing boat. I also made some under-seat boxes and center "hump" box for a Suburban out of scraps of 1/2 inch stuff.
Polyethelene will not stain easily, but your right, I don't know about the engine heat factor. how hot can it get over the engine?
It holds screws well, and should as there is no known glue for it. They use it to make floor boards for inflatable zodiac type boats, deck plates, hot tubs and even whole boats out of the stuff. It stands up to cuts and abrasion, thats why it's used for artificial knees and some hips.
I has been within 6 inches of my chevy 350 boat engine for 4 years with no problems. I think I'll cut a plate and keep it over the engine for a week or so and see what happens with the heat.
I sure like your design, hope you don't mind if I experiment with it!
