Sweet Ride!

Have to point one thing out.

It's obvious that you have put in a lot of time and money in you car.

Why do you still have a single bowl MC for your brakes?

Get yourself a dual bowl Master Cylinder man!!


I'll also take one of those center consoles.

Looks inspirational!

Do you have a table router? You could probably make some trim rings for those cup holders with some black PVC pipe.

If you have any boat dealerships nearby you might check them out for cup holders. My buddy bought some for his boat at one of the local dealerships that sold replacement parts and accessories. If you've ever been on a ski boat you've probably seen them. They're basically a black plastic cup with a rim that sets on the lip of your hole. They were only two or three dollars a piece.

Here's where I got my cupholders:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=35749&item=6224687225

they are meant for poker tables.

I started my console before the holidays, and I'm almost done.

I'll post some pics later.

How hard is it to work with that fiberglass ? I don't have any experience working with it but wouldn't mind learning.
