Rogue_Alphonse Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 in the 80's and 90's. But I have managed to modify a Chevy cup holder and put it in place of the useless ash tray with a missing door. And those buttons? BUTT WARMERS! (Yes its a mess, I am still working on it.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieg67 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I had an 84 ranger and an 83 Volvo that didn't have cup holders. The Volvo didn't even have a passenger side mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford completely re-designed the interior in 1987 to add ANOTHER ash tray and a FOLDING ARMREST but nooooo cup holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, and too thick of a steering wheel or a steering wheel cover is annoying and unsafe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornshire Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Growing up, none of Our family's vehicles had integrated cup holders. We always had those plastic ones you insert in the windows; that's still what We think of when someone says cup holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only worked in certain door shapes, though, if the panel was slightly too thick, it would be angled and it wouldn't hold the cup. Or they were really flimsy and would break and your shit would spill all over and then your mom yells at you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, duct tape a cup big enough to snugly hold a can to your handlebars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet it puts out the boom. It was a lot of cutting, trimming, and test fitting. But the end result is a snug cup holder that I can remove to clean. Also that stereo used to put out the boom but I may have ruined the rear speakers thanks to Black Sabbath at 100mph with the top down. It's nice though, Bluetooth and Pandora compatible, and it gets FM HD! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent set of coaxials would only run about seventy bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually am going to build boxes that hold the speakers behind the interior panels to improve sound and prevent that from happening. Right now they're 6x9's held to a plastic grille, which is clipped/screwed to the plastic floppy interior panel. It was a last-minute design for the 90-93 Convertibles to include rear speakers. Bitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
