looks cool. Last year I built a whole working V8 engine in inventor 3D. Currently I am using NX5(yes it is 500K per student copy MSU has the program) I have used NX5, Autocad Inventor 3D, Rhino 3D, and Autocad 06/07. Other than that I haven't had the chance to venture off into other programs. All of these programs I have used in high school and then NX5 in college. I actually designed a full bumper for my old truck that you guys would love, but I think it is on my memory card that somehow became corrupted Oh well anyways console looks nice I can't wait to see it done

Also I'm assuming that on the cupholder that is just the mold and you have to cover the outside of that with fiberglass to get the inside of the cup right? So that is just the mold basically for the final part right?

 

very good, many people wouldnt have noticed that but yes you are correct that is the mold that i used to make the final cup holder, btw im not using the fiberglass one im just using the stock one since my box is way bigger then i need and can have sections sealed off

btw im almost done with the second layer, im on my lunch break, and just noticed im gonna need quite a bit more fiberglass and resin......

 

Cool get some pics up when you can

 

ok here it is in my truck last night



here it is today with almost 2 layers and you can also see my other projects in the background

 

 

looks good I'm anxious to see how it turns out. I would really like to see it when it is done.

 

x2. This has been pretty interesting so far.

Still think you may be willing to build more for a profit ?

 

hahaha umm if the price is right and if pulling the foam out goes as planned (in a few hours) ill let you guys know at the end how much i had invested and hours spent on it and come up with a price

 

Right on, I'd appreciate that. Of course I'd compensate for your skills man ! Not expecting freebies !

So, you really need to start a thread about that little chopped rod you got sitting in the background. That has me straight drooling on my screen. Not trying to hi-jack this thread tho, but would like to know more about that one as well ! Got some real skills my friend !

Mind me asking whatcha do for a living ? Custom fab ? Or is this all pure hobby ?

 

Man now you guys started it! There are so many possibilities for a console Ipods, cup holders, head units, subs, anything really can go in a custom one. Sheesh watch I'll have one built here over the summer Addicting mods grr

 

He is a lazy bum for a living that goes to school

But him and his dad for a hobby restore and build cars/trucks. And their damn good at it too!

 

its a 32 ford pickup, chopped 5" channeled 6" suicide front end, the back will be z'ed 16" for a quick change rear end, if you notice in the first pic of it the can of resin is sitting on the engine block, which is a fuel injected 4cyl ford out of a midget race car about 300hp, and a 4 speed top loader tranny, and its a rat rod so its painted. also ive done 100% of the work even the leading on the chop.

sadly its still a hobby but someday soon i want to start a company building rat rods, they are fun, cheap, and easy to build

im looking for a part time fabrication job right now though, but am going to ASU for mechanical engineering

 

lookin good!!!!! are you also a fellow H.A.M.B.er?

 

DAMN buddy Seems like you know your chit. Any chance you can send me more pics of your work ??? Euroauto@sonic.net

Part time job ay ? Kinda a long commute but....

 

Dude, do I see a 32 Ford in the background!!?! Sorry, the console lost my attetion to the rod. Details.

Edit, nevermind, i see them.
