oh thats right, anaheim hills, now I think I've asked you that before! lol car show sounds fun, I need to get to one sometime but right now my car is out of commission. Do you ever go to Cars&Coffee in Irvine?

well your car is looking great, that console looks awesome and i'm sure with the gauges and cup holders you're adding all that stainless will balance out even more. Keep us updated!

Wow, very nice work!! Lots of good ideas on the cupholders too =D.

Htwheelz67, I've always loved the look of your convertible, and one of those consoles will top it off very nicely.

I've been debating what to do on mine...it's a driver, and has a somewhat abused factory console. In particular the upright portion has been hacked on badly. Seeing ideas like these is a nice inspiration =D. Again, great work!

Will the 10E be a parking lot early that day? The 10W will be bumper2bumper early for sure. The show sounds cool. I haven't made plans yet except to be way far from the beach.

Super job on the console, btw.

Cupholders? Cars are for driving not for drinking! Ok its nice having them on long trips. Flip out holders would be cool, like my 4th gen F body has. They hide when not in use.

What are those seats out of? looks comfy and match nicely.

Console is inspiring me to do some fab. Looks very nice. How wide is it? I was looking to incorporate my old 10" subs into somehow, might have to get some 8s though.

I just wanted to say I love your car, its the model Im using for my 67 coupe. As far as cupholders go. You can usually find some really nice ones online if you search for poker table cup holders.

These came up on a quick search. Drill the right size hole, and drop em in with a little glue in the right places...done

Hope it helps.

silverblade...seats are scat procar seats. 10'' subs will never fit. 8'' subs might look to big these are 5 1/2
