Thanks. No, whatever you do on your truck is fine by me, but the pods at $50 or $60 will probably be cheaper than doing a custom one. I will have around $100 in materials on the plug and mold making material for the first version, another $75 or so for V.2. Glad you like it.

The pod will be a direct replacement for the ash tray or hook, depending on what your truck came with. Adding this pod will add a special function in your truck, as it will keep you from having to tell passengers that they cannot smoke in the truck. Once they look for the "not there" ash tray, they should get the hint. I am the same way, don't smoke and don't allow smoking in my vehicles or house.
Glad you like the pod, I should have the proto of V.2 done in three weeks or so, hope you like it as well.
HAHA!!! Hoping I'll like V. 2 is like hoping I'd like a new truck if you gave it to me! Yeah, you're right... no smoking in my truck for sure and it'd definitely be a good deterrent. I want to get one of those "no smoking" 12v socket plugs... but it'd kinda be pointless for me because I use those plugs ALL the time. Anyways, I can't wait to see the finished product!

true true... We do high end epoxy bar tops and I have some casting resins, but not going to touch this yet. I was thinking more about the switches then the actual housing, but man I'll say it again what a great job ! ! I know what it took to get there !

skylinekw,

Reps refer to reputation points. The heart shaped icon allows you to send them.

Please, see this thread for additional information:

Hope that helps,

I am sure you will, the plug is coming out pretty well. Should have something to show in a few weeks... just waiting on the mold maker to arrive- I ran out on another project. Thanks again!

We use clear non-blushing casting resins a lot for custom carbon fiber parts, works great for some things, but this one will be a different casting resin. Thanks again for the props!

switch box

Do you have your switch box ready for sale? If you do I would like to get one on order. I have a Ford F650 that I am looking for some where to put switches and this looks like the best thing out there. Send me the link to get this on order. THANKS Boatman58
