another cupholder thread

[fuelman]

like everyone im tired of no cup holder but i wanted two & big enuf for a 24 oz faygo so i picked these blue led ones up off ebay i had the same one in my 67 & it worked great took a few pics as i was working on it today i figure its an auto so i need cupholders more than an e brake lol & im relocating the switches to the ashtray & covering it with carbon fiber vinyl wrap im gonna do the dash too so it all matches got some glow gauge overlays & a humount for the radio coming also to compleat the hole pakage

Definitely something I haven't seen before, and a bit intrigued. Are you going to use the OEM switches or use a couple smaller two way momentary switches and a single for the hatch?

I wouldn't do this with my IROC, but I found a clock console at the local pick-n-pull. Don't see many of those around Made a bezel to run a double din Eclipse nav unit as well.

BTW, I might need the ashtray lid/tin if you're willing to part with them. I cannot remember what condition mine are in...which is a sign that I've been putting off that project for too long

im gonna use the factory switches & keeping the tray lid gonna add magnets to it to keep it from flopping open during brakeing but the tin i will have no use for & its in pretty good shape still

Very cool. I love custom stuff like this. Look forward to watching the project.

well still waiting on parts to show up to put everything back together got the switches mounted & the inside of the light bucket under the console painted gloss blue did get the overlays installed love those what a change from stockglowgauge 085.jpgglowgauge 088.jpg

I though a LOT about those overlays, still haven't made up my mind. They do look pretty damn good!

[fuelman]

thanks i think the overlays do look better in person thats the best $50 i have spent on this car so far

[meissen]

Looks great!

[fuelman]

thanks meissen i got the blue leds & new console lid today still waiting on the humount & the vinyl wrap & big lou is sending me a sts unit thats next on the list

[fuelman]

a few night pics the HUmount is sweet the blue leds worked good the cup holders are a bit brighter than i remember might have to dim those down a bit the vinyl rap is a no go it wasnt easy to work with all the tight turns & small steps not happy with that at alllights 013.jpglights 016.jpg gonna have to redo it or use body filler to smooth the console top & paint it

[fuelman]
