71 Challenger automatic center console compartment dimensions

[RickyOG90]

Hi all,
Im working on creating a mod where i 3d print a module that will have switches and such that would slot inside the center console compartment; however, I live in another state from where i have my car stored during my restoration process and I dont have anyone reliable to do it for me, and the next trip would be middle of next year. Could anyone on here assist and provide me the internal dimensions of that center console compartment without the lid? like what are the dimensions of the bottom interior of the compartment, the depth of it, the top dimensions, that stuff. Also from my pictures I took at the beginning of the year, it looks like the interior walls angle outward so if you could also measure the height from the bottom edge and the length from the top lip to that height that way i can calculate the length and angle of those angled walls. Or just the depth and length of the angled wall itself as i can extract the data that way too. While this is for a 1971 dodge challenger, i think all years from 70-74 have the same size compartment, but not certain.

thanks greatly in advance!

This is about as good as I get tonight without getting out calipers.
It may help.
I was out here messing around.

sweet thanks for that! but i noticed that the top of the compartment widths were missing. I truly do appreciate it, but if you do get around to it, the caliper measurements would be even better, better to measure twice and print once right? haha Some of the measurements were a bit under what i had expected but for the most part i think it will still be doable, the length is especially ideal in that its not smaller than expected at least.

Ran out of caliper on the length but, you got a close measurement. Hope it helps.
And let us see whenever you get it finished.
If you could make me a polymer glove box, that would be nice.

Someone will probably chime in with a console on the bench. That would be your best specs.

ha its all good, although the caliper measurement for the width i noticed you went beyond the bounds of the inner compartment, but i think it still lined up with what i was expecting. If i could ask one final favor, would you be able to use the calipers to get the height of the front and rear of the side walls? like the driver side and passenger side of the inner walls close to the front and then close to the rear, I took one of my pictures to indicate the locations. its kind of hard to visualize it as all 4 sides are angled but i just need the vertical lengths near the front and near the rear as the height varies from from the back along the center, i think with that i can start making a reasonable model. Since I now have the bottom length, bottom width(front and rear), top length, top width(i think the front and rear are the same in that regard), and the center heights, i think to finish my calculations i need those side heights and that should be sufficient to get a flat top to the model

ha that could be good too. the more data the better really haha
