Once again I'll have to sit down and figure out the prices for a set of 4. Once again the more interest I get in it, and the more I can make at once, the cheaper it is. My next project is going to be to make replacements for just the rotating ends of the intermittent wipers, and the headlight switch. I'll probably make those tomorrow or Friday.

The automatic shifters are out of the question. I'm a machinist, not a mold maker. Sorry. I made my door locks using manual mills, but this weekend I will sit down and progam them on the CNC, and see how long they will take to run, then I'll have a price for everyone.

I just rough polish the aluminium with Scotchbrite. I have made some aluminium molds for my polyurethane casting business, and I polish those with Metal Polish from Thrifty Auto Supply. When you polish it with that, it turns it to a mirror finish.
BTW Once I get the door locks programmed, and priced, I will then take order for the shifters and the locks.

I'll look into a cup holder. Unfortunately for us 3rd gens it won;t be anything fantastic (where do you put it?) How about possibly making a permenant metal insert that goes in that drawer? Or how about one that goes inside the armrest? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Nice!
The only place I can see that would work for a cup-holder would be something that would clamp to the glove box door, or maybe somewhere on the dash. The arm rest insert would interfere with shifting.
Can you machine parts that are already created?

After looking at the drawer in the dash, it would really only fit one American drink (or as it is set up, two Japanese tea cups). The holder would have to be something clip on, that you could store.

Maybe something like that to clip on the drawer, and hold two drinks.
