Guest Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 I changed the lay out on my 1989 Reatta center console. I got real tired of no cup holder. That square piece in front of cig. lighter turns. It has the flat piece on top, Then it turns for a cup holder then into a coin holder. I like the looks of the horseshoe shifter. Plus i dont like climbing over the console to hit the button in the glove box for the gas door and the trunk release. So, I added them in front of the console. I still have the buttons in the glove box as well. I think it should work just fine. Let me know what you think please.<BR>Thank you everyone and have a happy new year and a SAFE one.<BR>Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 Is the shifter from a '70 era SS-396 ? Looks professional - you have a nice fab facility there but after seeing that engine am not real surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 I really like what you've done. I'm not sure about putting the gas and trunk release buttons on unless they were wired into the acc power. Keep up the great modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 Thank you for the input everyone. The shifter came out of a Olds Toronado 86-87. Another cool shifter is the one out of the Olds Hurst Lighting rods. I think the right shifter does alot for the interior of a car???<BR>Thanks again, Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Nice mods. there. I myself am getting tired of not having a cupholder in my car, but the console in my '90 is a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Looks great. My 90 Eldorado had a cup/coin holder like you described. The shifter is a winner!! Looks much better than what the car came with. It is a pain to have the fuel switch in the GP. For security reasons, I think I would have put them out of sight, but they sure are handy where you placed them. I noticed the tape player seems to be missing. What is your plan for that? Also, what is that device mounted next to the console under the dash, a CD player? Howard<p>[ 12-30-2001: Message edited by: Howard ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Thank you, You people are great. Hi Howard, There is a TV screen where the cassette used to be. The unit next to it is the DVD and CD Player. Happy New Year.<BR>Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazzman Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Randy,<BR>I can see why you favored a pearl color, it would really enhance the iterior -- or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 does anyone have a pic of this, it's not showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 I also could not open the window to the picture. Feel like I am missing out on something really cool.<P>By the way -- Make sure the cup is empty when you rotate for the change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Okay...can't unlock the picture and I am fascinated by the idea of the lightening rod shifter. Have you done this?? If so, I'd love to see the pic and hear how you did it as I thought the shifter was strictly a TH350/400 application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
