Back in '95 when I got the Cajun, I built this under-console storage bin out of wood, painted it and covered it in vinyl.

Was getting pretty ratty and rotten, so I designed a new one and built it from 1/4" plastic sheet.

Drilled and tapped 6-32 threaded holes in the edges of the 1/4" thick sheets to screw them together - free-handed. Tricky without a jig!

Holds 2 deep Plano boxes for storage of large items. Door shuts with rare earth magnets.
Not sure yet if I should leave it white, or paint it, or vinyl wrap it in carbon fiber pattern...?
