Progress update: I am getting really close to being able to form the actual cup portion of the cup holders. I'm perfecting this first because I'll be able to use it in both the ashtray and center console models. Also I had to make some new frames for holding the plastic while it's in the oven. My old frame was barely holding on there toward the end of the last run of wiper motor covers so it was in need of replacement. I made a pair of new ones from 3/4 MDF so I can be loading one while the other is in the oven. Hopefully it will make production a little faster.

If everything goes well tomorrow I should be able to post a pic of the cup part, but we'll see because the Good Guys Car Show is going on this weekend and I may be going to that. My buddy is putting his Plymouth GTX in so it should be a good time.
