Hey Guys ,
These are the first Pods out of the production molds and they look great !! These are the first Carbon Fiber Pod units . Let me tell you they are awesome !!.. Now I'm not going to try to twist anyone's arm but if you have a set of Silver FG ones on order and you want to upgrade we can work it out it's not to late.

I wanted to make sure we had all of the details were worked out before we went to press. CF, Silver color , Flocking etc... The CF units here show the interior flocked finish. I will be applying the same Ford GT graphics to the CF units but in Silver. That should really pop.. I hope to have some photos of the graphics next week.

Also note that these Pods can be used in other ways besides holding bottles of fluids. There are various after market devices sold that will fit nicely into the Pods.

Here is a little Combo ash tray/ trash holder or it could be used to hold other items.. It slips in and out of the Pod easily. The Pods will also hold a typical 2" gage.. Don't laugh at the ash tray bit.. If you've been around here awhile there was a post where someone made a make shift ash tray that just sat on the instrument panel... I will search for other useful devices and may make some of my own. Now you have some more options for quick easy space..

Very cool in CF. How much extra for the lid cap? I don't see them on the order form.
 
That unit something I picked up at Pep Boys a while back.. I think I have the original package for the part #. I could supply them but the mark up would kill you !! :biggrin
I plan to find some more usable items. I would be happy to purchase them but it may be easier just to provide the info.. We'll just need to see how much interest there is on the accessories.. Thanks for your interest !! :thumbsup
 
Please include the "I'm soooo sorry for being soooo late" card with my set. Your buddy, Frank

Yea, you're getting a card alright.. I'm going to get the UPS driver to leave you a extra flaming box on your door step.. Being from the Mid West I'm sure you'll know what's in it as you stomp it out.. :biggrin

So do you want still want the Silver ?? ..
 
That's really good StormCat. Glad your sense of humor has returned since your dark Lord has been been in Europe.
 
whats the diameter on the pods? wondering if an Iphone would fit in there.

The I.D on the CF is close to 2.75" I would use 2 11/16" to be safe. The Fiberglass are slightly less than the CF ..

Hmmm the Iphone is 2.4 inches wide so I will probably order one. Thanks
 
SCat, CF bottle holders look great! :thumbsup It should look awesome with all of the other CF in the cockpit. I'll take one for each side please.

Looking forward to the graphics pix.

Congrats! :cheers

Thanks Kelvin, I've got you covered !!! :thumbsup
 
Brian,

I can't tell from the pic's, but did you put a felt lining of some sort in each? If so, what are your thoughts as to how the lining will hold up over time with the condensation coming off of a 'cold one'?

Herb,
The units will come with a durable poly-fiber flock coating. It is moisture resistant. Any moisture should evaporate with out to many issues..
 
:thumbsup Thanks
 
:thumbsup Thanks

But next we will need to put it to the "Super Dennis" test.. That's a trivia question..:biggrin
 
As in "Menace?" Quit the brain teasers and get to work!
