Looks great! I'm gonna have to start mine soon. How far forward/back did you take it? Just under the dash or to the firewall? Looks like it comes all the way back between the seats level. I'm looking to have an arm-rest/storage area in ours.

eZ, you can find the cup holders that you can sink into the console at an RV dealer. I'm doing almost the same thing and I went to California RV in Acton and they had the black plastic drop-ins for 3 bucks a piece. In some RV's the tables have them in there. Hope I helped!
P.S. Your's looks GREAT!!!

4reboy--Im in Anaheim Hills. bout 30 mins from long beach. Im going to the red white and cruise at auto speedway on the 4th.

Adrenolin-- it doesnt go all the way to the firewall. It extends all the way to the rear seat.

Slow Lane-- I can be the first to have Keith Black 4340 forged cup holders!

Randy--Thats a huge help thanks!

Racin66--good idea but hoping to find something nice.

Try a trucking out fit. Like the 18 wheelers. They usually do custom cabs and such. I would think they have some cup holders.
