I also wanted to get rid of the plastic housing around the back on the
console. It has two plexiglass sliding doors and they have seen better days.
I replaced the doors with 1/4" starboard and the face with 3/8" starboard. I put in new door slides also. The new slides are 1/4" aluminum U channel.
Here are a few pics.

New Aluminum ones:
The old ones were also caulked in, which I hated so I bolted these with
small machine screws and locknuts.
Here are the doors after install:
Here it is all finished up.
