I saw an old thread by someone who was making double cupholders for the center console under the armrests. I tried contacted the member about getting a couple of them, but apparnetly he is not making them right now. I have since made my own which came out very nice. It is made out of solid 1" thick Zebrano wood, and has two cupholders. I also lined the holes with black plastic which can be removed if need be. I will post some pics tongiht. The wood was rather expensive, but I could sell them for $30 plus shipping. IF anyone is interested email me at PTM6295@hotmail.com or post back here. I have enough wood right now to make about five more of them. I believe they will aslos fit other models as well....but not 100% sure yet.

I'd really like to see the pictures!

Here are a couple of pics of the ones I am making. After figuring everything out, the price will be $32.00( I didn't realize the price of the plastic inserts went up). Shippoing should not be to much , At most $5-$6 for the 48 states. International obviously extra. Thanks

Could you make something similar to fit the wood transmission hump tray on a 63-69 111 chassis coupe or cabriolet?

Nice work!!

Could you please give the dimensions of the finished piece?
I'll take one for my 83 126 if it will fit.

Overall dimesions are 10.5" by 4.75". It is 2.25" high in the front and 1.75" high in the rear. The compartment in the car has a .5" slope from front to rear, so the carholder stays flush. I can change the length and width to fit other applications. Get back tome if anyone is interested. If I get alot of more interest, I will go out and buy more of the Zebrano wood. Thanks

I have also listed these on Ebay, but am offering them here for $8.00 less. They are costly to make, and are made out of solid 1" thick Zebra wood. They will last forever. Anyone still interested get back to me. Thanks again

Can you make the woodgrain sideways?

I could, but it would be two pieces of wood, spliced together. This wood is extremely expensive, and very hard to find with the grain going the other way. If you want one made out of two pieces spliced together, I will do itfor you.
