even since I owned both an 93 cavalier and an 85 camaro, I always thought it would be cool to somehow use the cavalier cupholder in the camaro. For those of you not familar with the cavalier cupholder, here's some pics...





I've got the cupholder already, now I jsut need to figure out the best way to mount it. I'm thinking of building a cage for it out of metal or some sort of lightweight screen. If I use the screen I would coat the screen in fiberglass, sand it smooth, and then paint it with bedliner

I plan on using existing screw holes on the underside of the dash to mount it, no new hoiles will be made.

If you have any ideas for making this project really cool, please put them here. It's on my list of things to do, but I have time to listen to good ideas

 

great idea! im going to spin off your idea here, i need to keep an eye out for some flat face pull out ones like that at work....or maybe modify some cavilier ones!

since my dash is already hacked and i have a ton of factory matching plastic i can make some panels and do this!


move the iroc badge to the right(the correct location?)
make a cut out in the new panel to hold the cupholders in!

 

if my dash was like that already, that's exactly what I would do

 

ran into a problem with the idea today, went to get coffee for myself and the bosses at work, the big cup of coffee wont fit under the dash pad...but i guess i can just use my emergency portable cup holder...my legs! haha

 

i just dont understand why people like to cut dashes up

 

mine had a tv and vcr in the dash back in 1986

 

ok a TV is one thing but a VCR ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!

WOW

 

haha yeah, theres a tiny hard to see pic in the magizine that featured my car back in 1991 but it does state the vcr in the article

 

thats all i have to say

 

mark, check these out!

anyway im wanting those door panels tho

 

very interesting... I'd have to see one in action, this picture makes it look like it opens kind of strange

yeah, I'm not sure if this would work.. I'm having a hard time picturing how to mount it

 

Cupholders are for mini-vans. If you can't juggle a drink, the steering wheel, and a shifter, turn in your man card.

 

i have kids and a wife. I'd rather not count on them being able to hold a drink on every long trip.

 

Mid 90's Tauruses have single din cupholders that have been used on many different cars, they have become popular with the MX6 crowd since we only ever got 1 cup holder on the left side of the wheel. Some came with a useless piece that snaps into the rear of the arm rest bin but the lid has to be up and it ends up behind your elbow and makes driving a 5 speed dificult.

The din cup holder could be put where the stock sterio goes with a single din type sterio surround or it could be placed in the flat portion of the dash face with some work.

 

Im loling right now.

 

it's done! (well except for actually putting it in the car)
