LeviGideon Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 If you start selling these, cupholders would be a game changer. Just sayin... I'd pay a premium for some cupholders in my 210. 6 Quote Link to comment

B210GX Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Your shit is sick. I hope to be calling on your services soon! Come on up see if ya need something :) NICE! By chance, are you going to be opening up the consoles for sale? If they turn out well...Definately! If you start selling these, cupholders would be a game changer. Just sayin... I'd pay a premium for some cupholders in my 210. I thought about that as well, although I'm not quite positive of the placement of said cup holders.. 1) the heater is in the way.. 2) e brake handle is in the way 3) THE BIGGIE the forming process works better with a "male plug" as apposed to a female. I thought about off to the sides, just in front of the shifter cut out. OR making them with the "face" more verticle and using later model car retractable cup holder inserts. Any way, I'm taking in to work tomorrow to test it out. X your fingers :) 1 Quote Link to comment

I've got a stock 210 console that has a change holder right there. For a while I used a bungee cord to hold cups in the space. It worked alright... Quote Link to comment
Will Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hmmm, so you have vacuum former access, eh? Is your vacuum former large enough to try duplicating a dash cap? I was thinking about making a mold from my current dash cap. 1 Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 me personally no, mine will be just big enough for these parts and maybe some flares . But work however Yes. 8' x 16' large enough? We did these letters 13' tall The O in the background up top is 25' tall for size reference http://tubeart.com/index.html Just remember on vacuum forming the "part" has to be able to come off the mold just like in the fiberglassing process.

Will Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 16 feet? ...so, you could vacuum form an entire Datsun body? (...It would just need to have the correct draft angle...) 1 Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 eh.. you would probably have to two halves . not enough plastic to cover the sides kinda lean them in towards the center... Quote Link to comment
