Wow, Mike! So, let me get this straight...you have an installation where,
because of the custom base you designed, you can lift the whole
"kitandkaboodle" up out of the cupholder? I hope I have it right.

That's a great idea--and maybe even better in terms of conceptually. I am
going to think about all the moldable, bendable, creatable (where things
like plaster of paris AND that acrylic stuff and others) are concerned and
see what I can come up with.

My husband's company is a canvas products company and for years I have been
trying to conjure up a "mobile sling" for radio installation in vehicles
where--especially in emergency conditions--the sling could be removed from a
vehicle and placed onto the body, another car, wagon, etc., for operability
in remote areas. And, yes, I count in the battery pack space needed, etc.
Haven't come up with one yet.
