I like the prototype finish so it's a keeper.....Just need to find the right size cupholder to latch onto the side....

Nice! You'll probably need to cut/fit a little piece of rubber in the bottom to keep things from rattling around.

The V8 doesn't rattle your teeth like the unbalanced 4-banger.

I'm not talking about the engine... maybe you've got 150lb springs and worn out Monroe's on it?

Nice. So you do need a little rubber mat in the change tray after all...

I guess next you'll tell me I need rubber pads on my billet door handles. I'm gonna check Target for a cheap plastic cupholder to mount on the side. I don't get too many passengers because of my driving style.

Okay, it's here and it's pretty cool. It's narrow, so it fits very neatly into the well of the cassette tape storage area. While this sounds like a nice fit, it's actually too low because the ends shift in and out to accommodate different-sized cups.

Looking at the cassette holder, there's a small lip that runs along the circumference that is a good height for the cup holder. The current plan is to cut off the door and latch at the hinge (it's plastic, so a pair of scissors will do it), and to create an insert out of a stiff material. The insert will be attached (glued?) to the cassette holder and the cup holder will be screwed to the insert.

Further updates (including pics) as events warrant...

I'll take one in black, please.

Okay, here's how it's looking so far. I've cut a cardboard template for the insert. I'm going to try to find time tomorrow to cut it out of some stiff plastic I have laying around. Then I'll cover the plastic with black vinyl and mount the cup holder over that. The lid door will be cut off.

But, no plan survives first contact with the enemy!

You must be a machinist? Either that or you love aluminum and CNC machines.

I'm kinda privy to my Brigdeport and manual lathe too..... Can't build one of these without either..... And it's not aluminum
Speaking of aluminum, I was thinking billet armrest insert until we had over 30 days of 100* temps here, Plus I'm just adding billet accents and not going all out.
