@TheThrowedMex, What up? Yeah Between 1980 & 1984 u could also get the 5.7
Liter Diesel, but was nt much better den the 4.1 which ws not reliable at
all. The 4.1 was prone 2 intake manifold Gasket Failure & oil pump failure
& poor aluminum head castings among other things. The 6.0 368 is actually a
great motor as long as u disconnect the “4-6-8” Feature. In 1985 all
cadillacs were down sized and Front wheel drive except for the Big Brougham
& you could get da 5.0 307 Oldmobile built engine.
@1finecadillac Thanks buddy!
I have a VERY similar cup holder like yours. Mine has the spikes to grip
the carpet, what i did was add some nuts and bolts i had lying around and
taped em inside the hollow bottom. It has never moved since i added the
weight. Oh and btw, remember that 65 Caddy i made a video about? You’ll do
when you hear this…it sold for $1,500! JUST $1,500!
Would the hole cause rusting? I have a cabriolet and need cupholders
Good idea.
@j45007, I mean these types of sales? and why did you not buy it?
@PoliceWillProtect, although they did a killer job on the overall
durability of the car and engine.
@taecamperva NO….thanks to you my friend!
@randomrazr, yeah thats right about being a Classic. It hit classic 2 years
ago! And yeah about the fast food, i did not even have fast food for the
first time til i was 16 or 17….now dayz kids have it at 1 and 2 years
old. Contributes to bad overall health and obesity. All i ever had was
homecooked meals from my mom. Now its very rare i eat any fastfood, even on
the road i snack on water and raw vegetables most of the time. -BOGAR!
nice video… i need to find a good spot to mount a cup holder to my 91
Trans Am…. i have my center console in the way of the spot you were using
on your buick.
Thanks for uploading this, now I won’t have to drive while holding on to my
drink. Ill have to get a drill por hay pero im definitely going to do this.
I used to have the ones that hooked onto the window sill…lol…I like
yours better. My 90 Toronado has a “cup holder” in the console. There is a
dial that turns the unit from a cup holder to a coin holder and then just
flat. The cup holder part is only about 1/4″ deep…I have no idea what
kind of drink they thought would stay put there…you just look at it funny
and it will tip over…haha.
@lonerman270, Yeah i have had a few surprises in years past. Especially the
way i drove as a teenager. Thats why i came up with this idea. Thanks alot
for the feedback. LaTeRz, -BOGAR!
@whey2cool4u Glad it was of some use to you.
sweet ending with the analogue clock
i need to find one for my park ave.
@focusonthegreen WOW, i have not heard from you in a while. And thanks for
the compliments. -BOGAR!
@CDTbossy, I have not seen yet a glue clean and good or strong enough to do
the job and never have to repeat it.
Hey Bogar, what’s that large bar on top of your drill’s chuck? Is something
to prevent that drill too deep in the metal and hit wires or hoses? I have
never see a drill like that before!
@j45007 to the days 1985 Buick LeSabre ownership 😛
@ie210 Thanks man!
i would not even install cup holders, cars are for riding in, not eating,
drinking or smokeing!
no wall mart or k mart and corsa is to small are cup holders in the glove
compartment
@JakeDaSnakeFilms btw everytime you show that Buick, it just takes me back
😀
I have question bout da 80-84 lac coupes,there was da 4100 which I heard
isn’t as good,same with the 4-6-8 one,wasn’t there another type of motor
also?.
@macJC50640, I like that clock too. Looks huge.
@JakeDaSnakeFilms Thanks Jacob!
@maloarfe, My thoughts exactly. Thanks buddy!
Good looking Buick!
@millionairat31 the Transmission is Further Up under the Dashboard.
@matts6887 thats watt i was thinkin off also
@JakeDaSnakeFilms, Well of coarse…How could i have forgotten?!?! You sure
miss that car huh??
@bimjales, Thanks! You had seeing it before right?
Instead of drilling into the body I would put lots of hook side velcro on
the bottom of the cup holder. It will hold it securely to the carpet, but
does not make any permanent change to the car.
well that solves my problem i have. I have a car with cupholders on the
armrest but they are all broken. and i rather have them on the floor but i
was afraid of something spilling. so now i will do exactly what you said.
thanks for posting another one of your simple but awesome ideas.
ahh….gettin ready for me when i come to visit eh……now got a place to
put my big super size coffee from starbucks in the cup holder….hmmm i
wonder if it work for a schwin bike too : )
I’d like to purchase this myself. Do you know what model it is that you
have? I’d like one that goes on the floor pan like yours. I have bench
seats as well.
thx
@j45007 lordy yes!
@PoliceWillProtect, yeah thats very true!
@lefty1999 well thats what i ment. Problem is that the tongue does not
always co-operate with the brain!!
