For the seat switch holes, I would just work on using 2 seat switch face plates. Use fiberglass or epoxy to cover/fill in the holes then either texture and paint or just paint.

This way you don't mess with the console. It would be a pain to try and blend in the texturing after patching, plus painting it defeats the purpose of using a grey console. Also, matching the grey paint won't work.

Good idea. I believe I can grab the big bezels cheap. Can you post a pic of the "skateboard"? Not to worried about the cosmetics. I planned to do something about all the wood panels inside since they are all cracked. I'm thinking I may wrap them in vinyl or leather.
