To build on (pun intended) Dominic's suggestion of Rhino Designs here are a
couple more links.

He's currently building a custom interior for a vanagon owner I follow on
Instagram, There's about 4 or 5 photos of the build process here. Give it a
looksee.

I have the Rhino center console and I love it... I'm currently building me
a cabinet/fridge base that sits right behind the passenger seat. If I were
closer to Rhino Studios I'd have Louis do it...
