Custom Cup Holders for our MB's

[WANT '71 280SEL]

I have already made several for some members and was wondering if others might be interested. I sent one off to a member to see if maybe we could get the color to match up even a little better if possible although the mix I have is already pretty close to the zebrano finish in most of our MB's.

I have sold them so far for $22 to a few members who have contacted me privately, and when I find the time I will start selling them on ebay for $30 but I'm not quite ready to undertake such a task since my high school senior year is coming to a close and I have priorities. Anyhow, I would still sell them to forum members for $22, so long as you've been a member here before I began listing them on ebay. Is what I'd like is for you to simply state here in a post if you'd be pretty interested.

As for the construction of them I am using zebra wood, which is zebrano, but not veneer (expensive wood I might add). These are then stained to match the wood color already in our cars though it is important to note that many people's wood is different than what it was originally mainly because of the aging so I can't guarentee that they'll match everyone's exactly. The grain matches just as it should be since I used the same stuff Stuttgart did. These have a final coat on them to give the glossy look and for protection from spills, etc. I am confident these will hold up even better than the wood already in our cars.

Here's a picture of one I made sitting in a 123. You'll notice it doesn't match this particular person's exactly in the picture but then again his wood was in pretty bad shape and the picture didn't come out as I hoped. The wood in our cars actually is suppose to be more honey colored than the dark brown most have but I tried to compensate somewhat.

If you have any questions please don't be afraid to ask here or by PM/email.

Thanks
