decided im going to make a few of these and sell them. with the mustang cost me an arm and a leg lately. ( have an app at ford for the THRID aliment tomm and the 3rd set of tires. none can get it right and its cost me moneyyyyyy! ) and i want to get this cam installed after schools out. 9 more days!!

i had the ole man help me mix the bondo. ( every time i add hardener i either add to much...or to little :screwy:

i have 3 more console tops so after that ill be done for a while till i get a few more.

Hit up Jon at Tire discounters here in Ft Wright Ky. The alignmeny guy there did mine, caster camber plates and all. I will have to get another one done after I swap out my rack.
What do you think the cost will be for adding cup holders? May have to send you mine when I get it to fit!!

the biggest part of it is just the time spent in it. other then that bondo, filler, and glazing putty. can of sandable primer, and the dye and thats it. i has about 10 hours in the first one. so far 1 hour into this one. the buggest thing is i have to drive about 80 miles to get cup holders to make them :lol: ill keep track of how much i spend making this one and go from there. since the first one there was alot of trial and error is seeing the best way to do it.

You need to use one to build a mold then crank them out from fiberglass - I'll bet you could sell bunches of them!

I used to help out at a place called 4 Sands Industries.They remade small auto parts and some other odds and ends for other companies.Some Corvette emblems and older vette shift knobs,64 impala rear view mirror brackets.I would look into a place like that to have them expedite the making process or some thing.First things first.Get a some what detailed plan on it,have a couple friends sign and date the plans.
Also,ive heard nothing but good things about Performance Alignment.Once I get the coupe back together ill be sending it there way for the full front end treatment.

Told ya,first things first.Draw up some plans on paper,cardboard,napkin whatever you have and have a couple friends sign and date it.Im tellin ya,to save you ass later on down the road if some one picks up on this they will make some money and you will be left wondering.That original plan that you have keeps that from happening.Ive gone through this once with some people and have some things in the works.Patents are not cheap.

I told you Ryan that those things will sell!!! Get it down to a science and crank em out. Who would of thought that putting cup holders in a car would be such a great idea. LOL!!!!
