Cup holders for classic Cuda

[RickyOG90]

I have a new design but have not made any prototypes yet. It includes a rear small compartment for misc items and/or cassette tapes.

Would have made more progress but doing body work all year!

Dimensions of that compartment are not regular. It tapers in several directions.

Ah ok, and yea i know about it tapering on all sides haha i kinda have a template of measurements but i havent got it all fine tuned which was why i was curious if you might've had it.

Well im personally not looking for cup holders, i need the compartment's internal measurements for something else

If I were to add cup holders I personally would add the cup holders through the woodgrain top plate, one in front of the shifter, and one behind the shifter before I went through the console lid. I wouldn't want to loose the storage space and inconvenience to have to remove both cups to get into the console area.

That 3D-printed design for the console lid (2 pieces) does not open. The two console holddown screws holding the console to the tunnel are reused, one screw per cupholder section along with the hinge screws.
The "through the woodgrain topplate" version works for an automatic but not so well for a manual.
Many people have asked me why I would want to drink or eat in my Cuda and risk spills and food crumbs. I tell them that I only want to be able to take a "To-Go" cup of coffee from home when headed out to a morning show.
