One of the pet peeves I have had with my 68 charger lately that it does not have any cup holders . So brain storming I thought how nice it would be to have 2 in the center console . BUT there was no way I was going to hack up any part of it .

So this was my solution. I removed the lid of the factory center console storge box. Took some measurements and started building !
I just used 1/8 and 1/4 hard board. The cup holder inserts were bought off amazon for 20 bucks . After everything was built and glued together i primed the entire piece with 2k primer to seal off the wood give a nice surface to paint. I painted everything a satin black . Then got some chrome wrap. I cut the wrap to the correct widths and we'll. .. the pics tell the rest.

really happy with how it turned out ! Ohh and the switch is for Line Lock.

I guess I am lucky with a 1970.  I think I have cup holders in the door of the glovebox.   :yesnod:

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

That looks really nice.   :cheers:

Make sure you seal up the wood/MDF on all sides.
