I picked up SS cup holders cheep off of Ebay. I think you can seach for boat cup holders or pool table cup holders. Here is an example of what I used

I am going to use one of these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DOUBLE-BOTTL...-/181236350689

I think it goes better with my custom console, there when you need them but hidden when not

vince921 · 03-17-2014, 08:01 AM

those are pretty slick but i almost want to see mine gonna need something to break the console up a bit

vince921 · 03-19-2014, 07:07 PM

have been working on the bed the last couple of days hope to have it in primer tomorrow.

been kicking around ideas on the center console... i did order everything everyone recommended already !! accuair holder/cup holders/shift boot so i should be good to go once all that comes in !

vince921 · 04-06-2014, 08:28 PM

haven't uploaded in awhile got the bed close ... the rest will have to be finished up by a body guy. it came out great... now just have to figure out something to do for inner fenders get the gas cap welded in and the door popper mechanisms ordered and installed then its off to get some PAINTTT!!!!!

I used one from Dakota digital which was a 7 Channel remote which is nice because I set it up to not only pop the doors but I can also roll up/down the windows. This provides another way into the vehicle if the solenoid craps out.

I did upgrade the solenoids as the one in the kit was not strong enough to trip the bear claw latches.

Good luck on the paint. Looks good thus far.

Just the guy I was looking for ! Thanks for the info ... If you don't mind can you share some pictures of the inner fenders on your truck I think I read you got them from absolute sheetmetal ?

I got mine from B*tchin products (same as Absolute sheetmetal). I need to take some engine bay pics. I dont have many engine bay pics since it has been completed. Here is the only one that shows the inner fenders.

I will take some more the next time I have the truck out.

My truck doesn't have the firewall... Just want to make sure before I purchase they would work with the ls1 I have the radiator support for the fenders just not the firewall .. I was debating just to build a set or purchase these which look awesome

I would build a set as there is not much to these. When I bought these I didn't know as much as I do now. I think you could come up with something close if not better. I also liked how they tied in with the firewall which weighted into my decision to purchase.

vince921 · 04-07-2014, 03:39 PM

Looks amazing man. What color are you thinking about?

vince921 · 04-09-2014, 06:00 AM

honestly the whole build ive been thinking a charcoal grey, pretty dark grey. But now that its getting close i just almost think it will be to plain. so im up in the air with it all at the moment. it will be darker colors for sure. I really like the audi Nimbus Grey color

vince921 · 04-21-2014, 06:51 PM

got the gas cap all welded in and it works perfect very happy with it

**oldman3** · 04-21-2014, 07:10 PM

**youngrodder** · 04-22-2014, 09:05 AM

Looks good. Is that cap easy to open. It looks very smooth on top.
Where did you get it from?

I like it.
