Yeah, it'll make sense when you see the part. I don't usually show molds, but this dang thing has taken so long I wanted to at least show you guys I was making progress.Originally Posted by jawn101
OK, call me what you like, but I'm...confused by that mold.

As a European who lived in the US for 2 years... I think this is very funny. Only Americans worry about something to put in something to drink in their car while driving. Do not get me wrong I admire the way Americans think and how practical they are. I took the habbit with me and I also drink my morning coffee in the car daily while driving to work here in Belgium.
I seldom drink in my Delorean. Only when the trip exceeds an hour one way. But I bought a cup holder at Pep boys last year while in the US for my work. It jams under the glove box lid and works fine.
But this thread was a hit on the old forum and now it is again... funny!!
Honestly... If something neat comes up, I'm interested!

Get to it, man! How are we supposed to drive around with hot toddys and egg nog unless you finish this thing? Don't you realize that some things are just *less important* than cup holders?
Edit: non-alcoholic ones, of course....

I know. I'm slow. (For such a small mold, it's actually been quite a pain in the butt.) May not be saying much, but I do think I'm still on track for delivering faster than DMCH's stuff though.Get to it, man! How are we supposed to drive around with hot toddys and egg nog unless you finish this thing? Don't you realize that some things are just *less important* than cup holders?...and I'm not sittin' on anybody's deposit money.
Once I pull the first one, I will be looking for someone local with a (stock interior) D to do a test fit and make some final bracket measurements. (Bernie M. used to be my go-to guy for this step, but sadly he's no longer around.)

Josh Q's idea
I just purchased this on Ebay:
It is out of a 2000 Saab 9-5 for $25. My plan is to integrate it into or below the passenger side kneepad close to the center console. The goal is to make it look like it could have came from DMC...we'll see...I'll share pics if anyone is interested....
