Thread: Fiberglass center console

Thanks. You have done some nice things with the body on your hot rod ()

There's a bunch of stainless cup holders on amazon all different sizes some nicer than others. My Google search led me there. Most are advertised for poker tables or boats. I had the luxury of choosing anything since I had yet to drill the holes. I ended up with one about 2.5" wide at the bottom and 3.5" at the top (think large Taco Bell cup). I paid a little under 20 bucks shipped. Unfortunately it seems if it doesn't fit in the bottom of the cup holder it will tip over because the overall depth I think is only roughly 2.5". It's hard to find one deeper than that. I would recommend one all one width. These will fit a medium take out cup or can mostly. I think I'll put one larger cup holder in each side panel under the quarter window behind the seat for a bigger mug or bottle.

By the way I'm noticing the cup holders look like they don't sit the same in the console so I might sand the top more so that they both sit the same and level. They don't look straight in line with each other front to back, but they are.

I think you did a great job...Nice shape also !

I have seen the work that comes out of your shop so that means a lot..Thanks!

I haven't done anything with it recently, but I still need to tweak the area around the shift boot ring so it fits a bit futher back without the shifter hitting it. I'm also concerned with how the lid looks after sectioning it, but I'm trying to ignore it until we find a shop for the interior and I'll probably have them wrap some leather on it to match the whole thing.
