Cup Holder - ADVANCED



We have all seen that clip on cup holder for sale, ....
but nothing beats the real thing.
I have one built into my Ford Taurus that I think is the most
awesome cup holder ever, it was one of the main descision makers
in buying the car! I am sure I am not the first to pick a car based on
the cup holder!

I have an idea but I am not sure if it will fly.
I need the advise of someone who is a lot more familiar with the
console and frame of the D.

My idea is to remove the top of the console and ashtray,
and custom build a new one.
The idea is to either drill into the actual frame with a hole saw
and recess the cup holder down into it with a matching base.
I have some friends who do composite plastics and fiberglass.
I thought if I built this new console and wrap it in the same
leather material.

If is not structually sound to do this drilling, then we could
make a mold that rises above the console instead.

I would love to hear what people think of this idea or if anyone
has ever done this.

Of course, this is for a daily driver and not for you guys who 
want to collect the car.
I like to live in my car.

What could complete a nice day driving than a cool glass of tea?
Eh?
