I was thinking of modifying an automatic center console from another car to fit my auto square.
Has anyone seen or done this before. I wanted to make a dash console for a stereo and gauges,
and would like to blend it with a factory look center console.

When you say 'from another car,' what kind of car are you referring to?
I have been working on the interior of my '68 Fastback over the past 3 years (when I find free time to work on my own upholstery stuff), and one of the things I also want to incorporate in my interior is a dash-to-floor console to mount the stereo, gauges, CD storage, etc......although, I hadn't considered extending it down the tunnel past the shifter.
I think the only quirk I encountered when I did a quick mock-up for my console was allowing space for your right foot on the accelerator pedal; it's quite a tight area to the tunnel.
Oh, and my car is the 4-speed, so we have some slight differences.
So again, what's this other console outta? Do you have pics?

Center Console
I was thinking of a console out of a Grand Am maybe or some other small automatic 
. I would measure and do a junkyard search. I have made under dash consoles before, and you're right, the first one I made went to the tunnel and was too tight for my size 12's. I cut some of it out of the way, but it looked funny. The next one I made was suspended from the dash, about 12'w x 6"h.
I was just wondering if anyone has adapted some other center console into thier auto T3
. Would be able to use a better shifter indicator too.
