The final straw occurred last weekend. Late to my neighbor's niece's wedding and a bit tired, we pulled into the Starbucks drive-through. Large coffee for me, large Chai Latte for my wife. Without thinking, I put them in the Astro cup holders. Like I said, we were late, so I made a quick left back into traffic, cutting off some dude in a Lincoln Navigator who laid heavy on the horn, and squeezed in between a monster pickup with a TEXIT bumper sticker and a SMART car. Meanwhile my wife began screaming and yelling.
Yes, hot coffee and Latte all over her lap. We didn't make the wedding.
To remove temptation to ever again use those useless detents that pass for cup holders, I got out my trusty Dremel and fixed that problem, removing the "glove box", which is too small to hold a decent pair of gloves anyway, in the process.
Looks good, right?
After staring at the backside of the doghouse for a day or two, I covered the hole with a piece of plywood,
and decided to do a floor console build, which I'll document here. Yes, lots of pictures.
And, no I don't use CAD, but rather WAD, Wood Aided Design, which has nothing to do with the pictures on the calendar in my brother's shop. And since I use the time tested and time saving (?) method of MOBC, Measure Once Before you Cut, this might prove a bit embarrassing. Or perhaps I'll just not show the resulting scrap pile, nor tell you of the number of trips to the lumber yard for more plywood. Anyway, let the build begin.
