95riosnake Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I've been pondering over that console pod deal for a good year now, I just don't have the skills to make one lol. Figured it's a better use of space than the stupid ash tray.My thoughts exactly. I think I opened that thing a couple times since I bought the car back in 03 lol"You owe me a 10 second car."?????Haha the funny thing is back when F&F came out, a 10 second car was ungodly fast, now it's almost commonplace. Kinda sad really, I miss the old days when a 12 second car was a rocket ship.Sub'd in on this one. Massively impressive build thus far - seriously mind blowing. Are you making it to the Ford Nationals this weekend?Thanks I appreciate the kind words! Normally I'd be hitting up Carlisle but I'm sitting that show out this year and focusing my efforts on getting to Mustang Week. I've been at Carlisle the past 7 or so years in a row, I figured it was time to try out Mustang Week this time.I really like the cup holder gauge pod. Cant wait to see it with the carbon fiber finish. Nice work, as always.Thanks, and me either! I love CF, it's like gloss black but with an injection of awesome.Ahhhhh I can't wait to see your car in person at mustang week!!!!!!!!!!!Doing my best to get it there! Btw I saw your post about the business card design, but forgot to post. I'll try to whip something up for you tomorrow or Thursday. Send me a pic of your car that you'd like me to work with for it :thumb: (high resolution is best) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend and I often talk about opening our shop. We quickly come to the realization that (a) we're slow and (b) all we do is bolt stuff on, not fab stuff up like you do. I wish I had your fab skills and imagination, which is why I want your input on my car haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Small update, as I'm headed to Florida for a week as we speak (mustang week is my vacation, but my wife is not coming so Florida is our vacation together), I managed to get a little accomplished before leaving though.I needed to mount the switch for the cutouts somewhere, so I looked around and saw the coin holder I have yet to ever put a coin in lol. Popped it out and got to work.Measured the top of the coin holder and laser cut a top plate from styrene Cut out the interior of the coin holderEpoxied the plate on topTest fit the switch and decided the plate needed to taper down to the edge of the coin holder so it wouldn't look so bulkySmoothed it out and painted it satin blackAll finished up, pretty happy with it. The satin black isn't very "satin", it's a little higher gloss than I was wanting but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 it looks okay the way you smoothed down the edges, but the switch still looks out of place to me. i think i would have tried installing a convertible top switch in there instead. Could have removed the light from it and painted it and put whatever decal on there you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 This switch came with the cut outs and the wiring for the cut outs has a 5 pin connector that the switch accepts. I'm not sure that a convertible top switch would work, and not sure what other momentary rocker switch would be compatible so I just stuck with what they provided.

I'm not sure that a convertible top switch would work, and not sure what other momentary rocker switch would be compatible so I just stuck with what they provided.Unfortunately, I gotta say I agree with Ryan on this one. The switch does loot a bit out of place. Maybe make a custom coin holder delete plate with some sort of logo, then backlight it? And move the momentary switch to the inside of the console bin. Or underneath the drivers seat and mount it to the seat frame? Just throwing ideas out there, normally there is never a flaw in any project you do, I really do mean that, but that switch just looks like an afterthought.:confusion: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm gonna paint the trim around the fog light switch with the same paint so it'll have a slightly glossy look to it, should help tie it in some.Wasn't going for a factory look, rather just a clean install of the aftermarket switch, so it stays. Not everybody is going to love everything I do I suppose, but it's all good lol :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Tew Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Have you seen the switch in my center console? Similar deal, but I didn't add a plate it, I just cleared out the coin holder until the switch snapped into place on its own. On a side note, I'm PMing you.

Prokiller Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 i think the big difference though is that guys car is clean and meticulous but it's for the most part all off the shelf parts. not very much custom stuff like Dan does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVTurbo 98 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Both cars are top notch and it's nice to have such meticulous owners represent the SN95s the way you guys do. I think it really helps keep the body style desirable when people see these cars being built to such a high level. Cheers to everyone that takes pride in restoring their cars, especially SN95s, back to showroom condition or better. Without seeing people going full OCD on their cars, it would make the hobby less challenging and less fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
