Concealed Power Panel in Ashtray Door
Hello folks. You've been responsive when I needed help, so I thought I'd share a recent project in case you might be interested. I don't often have a good idea but this one has worked out well for me. If you don't need a cigarette lighter, and would like to have some power ports for a GPS, cell phone charging, laptop power, etc., here's a way to provide those outlets and be able to conceal them when they're not in use. Two cigarette lighter receptacles and two USB ports, utilizing the original lighter hole, a "Z" shaped sheet metal panel, some ports/receptacles and a little time. Picture included.

If you could make that panel as a blank would give people a million options on places to hide anything,From air ride to even the key switch or push button start.
