Home Made Storage Solution

Another rainy cool spring day here. Not much to do . So it was fix the Vette Day. I took care of the floppy mirror problem (again) This time I think I got it right thanks to the information on this Forum. Also got busy and made something to hold all those little things that tend to fly all over the back end inside the car. Now this is only a prototype so hold the flames. But I think with a little tweaking it will be just what I need. Actually it is the third prototype but I am getting the hang of working with the plexiglass. The seat does not hit it when the back is in place. Whaddya think?

I think you need to upgrade your phone.

Seriously, it looks good! Others (including myself) may steal the idea.

Looks Good

In the second picture that Dark Side Of The Moon CD looks thick, is that some sort of box set?

No just the single. Must be the light on the cover. BTW the phone works fine for my purposes.

Yeah, here's a suggestion, get an I-Pod and dump the CD's.

Seems like it would be hard to get to while passenger is in car. Especially on the road.

Looks good-you could probably make it a little bit shorter, and slide it to the center if you wanted to get to it easier.

good thoughts....i still dont see how the seat doesnt hit it though. both my seats are always all the way back and up against that part of the car, or at least darn near it.....oh yeah, about the phone....um.....yeah, even my city has upgraded from that phone (although they outfitted every patrol car w/the handsfree kit for that phone then upgraded to one that doesnt fit......who gets paid to make these bonehead decisions???)
