Bob-Yea the whole thing will be out of metal with a lockable flip around door over the stereo, with locks on the storage compartment as well. I have some sheet stainless steel laying around, and I also have tons of 1/8 inch diamond plate steel. The stainless will make up the walls(what I have done so far) and the diamond plate will make up the top. I will use angle iron as a frame structure and bolt it like a rock to the floor.

Does anybody know what the rules are for welding stainless? I can't remember so I kinda figured I would just bolt it instead of weld it.

Man, this shall be most righteous when you finish this! i hope it turns out well. i don't envy the wiring extensions you will have to do for the stereo though

if you are talking about welding down this custom center console to the body, i wouldnt. have the flexibility to remove it if youre not satisifed or if you want to redesign it. besides, two bolts (three is better---one towards the front of the console) would be plenty strong.
