Shaving ashtray

[jeffyp32]

I'm thinking about shaving the ashtray from my center console. The spring is broken so it doesn't stay shut and I just don't use it. What do you guys think?

Yeah that was just the first coat of paint. I'm gonna sand it still and add a few more coats.

I would of thrown some switches in it.

Re: Shaving ashtray

I had switches in the ashtray before and I didn't like them there. I put them on the other side of the shifter.

Interesting. Looks/going to look clean too. I just ditched the lid on mine.

Re: Shaving ashtray

It's lookin ok. Still have some coats and sanding to do but so far pretty good. I'm thinking it looks too plain though. I might have to put switches there or something.

Didn't come out too bad. Still working on it, just hate driving without it in.

What was used to do this? bondo? & fiberglass?

Re: Shaving ashtray

Just bondo. I'm not too good at fiberglass. Kinda afraid to try it and it turn out bad.
