For those of you not on VV:
I got just a couple little things done on our Greenbrier last weekend,
some maintenance mostly, but also two things that I've wanted for a
bit. First, one of those modern handy things is the cup holder. Now
I've seen a bunch of things, but I kind of wanted something "60's". A
little shopping at Target paid off - a 4" x 5" x 10" bathroom basket in
chrome. Got some SS bolts and chrome spacers - to space the basket
away from the overhang of the dash, then a pair of nylon spacers to cut
to an angle to level it out - and we have a cup holder that will fit
two 32 oz. cups but still sort of has that period look:

Second, for those of you with a Deluxe GB, there's a rear dome light
that comes on with the rear doors. Problem is, you can't turn it off
for those times you're at a show. I needed to replace the fuse holder
anyway, so I added a switch on the positive side of the circuit (after
the fuse). Now I can turn the light off *and* on. Simple things for
simple minds :-)
