I'm sure there are some pics on here someplace of the two consoles but I can't for the life of me recall what the thread was.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

What is that hump made out of? Looks like wood in that shot. Are they reproduced? And what's that forward hole for? Questions, questions. :shruggy:

They repro the humps in fiberglass and metal.  I think like 200.00 for stamped steel and 70.00 ish for fiberglass.  I thought they get welded to the floor hole area, but doesn't look that way in the pictures.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

You're thinking of the part that gets welded to the floor pan to cover the giant hole that gets cut for the shifter. This piece covers that one. The 4-speed consoles have a chunk missing to clear the floor as well. This particular cover is made of some sort of pressed fiberboard. The reproduction part is plastic but I've never held one so I don't know how thick is is. I never really paid attention to the forward holes (there's a matching one in the console body) so I don't know what to say about that. If you need more pictures ask quick because this thing is shipping out next week.

I guess the only other questions or pics request I'd have is how it's attached. Am I seeing rivits? And who sells the repop version?

Looks like Tony's Parts has them. Anyone else you know of?

The forward hole in the hump is so you can get access to fasten down the console. There is a screw that goes into the slot in the console and secures to the mount welded on the top of the floor tunnel.

From memory the repo is approximately 1/8" thick.
