I turned my armrest ashtrays into candy dishes!

[@bigdaddycain8561]

Wish you tube would have recommended this channel sooner! Awesome to see there is still some families work together and be happy!

[@ElliesGarage]

Thanks so much!!

[@lancmac]

Be proud dad... you have nurtured adult development in ELLE She has come a long way in the past year... KUDOS

[@clifc6351]

Bravo! Good Decisions. Carl's coming along! Thank You for sharing your progress. Stay Happy, these days are the Best!

[@ElliesGarage]

Yes! Thank you!

[@bobmendel9697]

Your Dad has to be a very PROUD Papa!!! Keep up the good work !!!!

[@johnclinton1297]

Never thought of using the "soft brass" dremel option. Will definitely be trying that. Great job kiddo !!

[@ElliesGarage]

Thanks! I didn't know if it would work but it really did a good job!

[@tombrown879]

New viewer. As a dad of two long lady's. I love the work you are doing as a family project. Another thing you can do to old ashtrays. is to drill a hole in the bottoms. and one out the back side of the armrest. then install USB sockets into them. run the wire into the door. and with contact fittings in the door frame like new cars have. you can have awesome little USB ports and a place to roll up and store the cords. Keep up the great work.

[@mharden2441]

That turned out sweet ! The color's look awesome great choice . You are doing great job on Carl . 👍

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you so much 😀

One word - Ants!

[@pascaljeske7307]

Great Job and great Idea nice Video Love it ❤️👍😅

[@Whitecranekungfu]

Perfect plans. On all your videos. Keep on keeping on.

[@Whitecranekungfu]

My journey isn't as cool as yours... I have a 62 Comet S22. If you went to Mac Street Garage. You can see my project after two years. Or. Michaels Mercury Mayhem on my building of the shed specifically for working on the car. Again. Not as cool as yours or your dad's video editing skills.

[@williamgreen1489]

Great job as always! Great that you turned those ashtrays into something useful 🙂

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you so much!!

[@stephmo371]

Looks so good i love the idea! Careful on them wicked hot summer days though 😂 gonna have a caramel mold of the inside

[@MichaelWilliams-kq1lv]

Hey Ellie, Great job with the candy dish idea. I smoke and now I want to quit so I can convert mine.

[@maya00795]

Wow..... Fabulous.....too good 👍👍 greetings from India 🙏

[@jimcabezola3051]

OMG! LOL!❤ I actually stuffed candies in the ashtrays of my Dad’s ‘66 Valiant station wagon when I was a little tike. Like you, I learned never to leave them in there between car journeys, LOL! This episode made my heart smile! Mahalo!

[@ElliesGarage]

That's such a great story! Thank you!!!

[@Irishfan]

Even though your car has been modified from a vintage factory original you have made a good-looking and safe car. Watching your videos makes me wish I had kept my Falcons and restored them. I would have restored my 63 convertible to standard factory condition, but I may have upgraded my 68 from the basic stock to a more premium model and modified it with some of the modern technology you did.

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you so much! I bet that 63 convertible was GORGEOUS!

[@blakeneysanders4264]

Good job ya'll, looks awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you!!

[@donm8856]

Nice Job, I love when you can repurpose something that was not so cool into something neat. It also keeps the interior looking original. 👍

[@ElliesGarage]

Yes! Especially after I had been dreaming about it for so long now. Thank you!!!

[@falconeer99]

At Nationals I'll definitely be stopping by Carl to pick up a Werthers

[@ElliesGarage]

I'll be there and you can have two!

[@sjremondini]

Such a sweet car! ;) godd job guys!! Hugs from Italy

[@ElliesGarage]

grazie mille!

[@kurtludwig6962]

Good job👍

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you!!

[@justinsanders2705]

Awesome job! If it were me it would just be a bag of gummy worms/bears jammed in there 😂

[@ElliesGarage]

😂😂😂

[@kath121]

I spy a TRUCKLA shirt! Did you see the new video where Simone is getting Truckla all fixed up?

[@ElliesGarage]

YES! It was so cool! Simone is the best!!!

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

What a coincidence. I got a bag of Werther's for Christmas and forgot all about them until just a few days ago. I was actually eating one when I clicked on this video. lol P.S. I kinda feel like you need to order up a pack candy cigarettes off of Amazon so you can roll them up in your sleeve like the cool kids did with actual cigarettes back in 1965. Milner from the American Graffiti movie as an example.

[@FixerUpRon]

nice... looks good

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you!!

[@thegimpy1972]

Amazing work. Love your channel down here in OZ!

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you very much!

[@KeithLewis28]

Delicious and nutritious

[@ElliesGarage]

Yes!!

[@snakeboren4814]

Ellie..U CUD also keep spare change in those ash trays!!!!

[@jamesrichardson1901]

This is one of those unnecessary but totally satisfying little projects that you need to give you a mental break from the heavy-duty stuff like radiators and transmissions. Small, focused, zen.

[@kenhorne5650]

Was the cigarette butt masher. Never used it. Had the bean bag type instead.

[@ElliesGarage]

I had no idea! Thanks!

[@richardwashburn9954]

7 Werther's per door x 4 doors plus the one in the dash should be enough, but like said elsewhere don't leave them in there too long. Do Not use Hershey kisses!🤣

[@ElliesGarage]

I wish! Unfortunately, only the rear doors had armrest ashtrays. Definitely not Hersheys. Ha! I was pretty strategic with my candy choice and I'll have to see how they hold up this summer.

[@robertwilliams8010]

Ellie, may I please have the rose gold paint code? Did you use the same paint on the door metal as well as in the vinyl arm rest?

[@ElliesGarage]

Of course! Yes, same paint for both. It's a Hyundai color and the OEM code is UE Gold Savor Hazelnut Hope that helps!

[@ElliesGarage]

It also has a "brand code" of 904426

[@joepeltola52]

You can also put USB ports in them.

[@ElliesGarage]

That is such a cool idea!!!!

[@drfalcon4102]

cute Idea, but, one Problem,, what happens when you park at like a Car Show , in the heat, and the Candy Melts?

[@ElliesGarage]

I thought of that, and from what I've read, Wethers are pretty durable. But it's a good question. What exactly is the melting point of a Werthers? I guess I'll be finding out.

[@falconeer99]

​@@ElliesGarage Nationals is just a few months away. I guess we'll find out then

[@Duaneoca]

It looks like you’re a couple of door panels and a headliner away from being “done” right?

[@ElliesGarage]

Close but not quite. Door panels (just finished them this weekend, spoiler alert), headliner, bucket seat conversion, new carpet/center console, reorganizing our wiring, EFI tuning, disc brakes, wash/detailing episode...and then we might be done until winter break. 😀

[@Duaneoca]

@@ElliesGarage hahaha well, it wouldn't be a car project if it was ever done. That's why I put "done" in quotes! keep up the good work!

[@redtra236]

what if your passengers are smoking though now theres no ashtray, which I guess it'll still function if you remove the candy probably.

[@ElliesGarage]

People are welcome to smoke in their own cars. NOBODY smokes in mine.

[@redtra236]

@@ElliesGarage Oh I see, personally I don't smoke but I always keep an ashtray available in my car since some of my friends do. I've never really minded the smell of cigarette smoke but I guess it really bothers some people.

[@ashleycox4859]

Hi

[@DaPenceman]

Admire and appreciate the efforts to keep the positive attitude on all your videos. When are you going to release the "dark side of Ellie" video. I know cars not unlike children can take you to a place you don't want to admit to, and colorfull language can suddenly blurt out. Where' Ellie's dark side?

[@ElliesGarage]

If you haven't seen it yet, this episode definitely brought out some dark emotions 😬 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn2saa1nf7qgjsU

[@lancmac]

Repro models of foam items shrink a little with age plus repro manufacturers make slightly different shapes and sizes to fit more years and models.

[@ElliesGarage]

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for that info!

[@kenhorne5650]

Kids used put their chewed gum in there. Hard to get out. Yucky too.

[@ElliesGarage]

Yikes! I bet.

[@marshallgibson8872]

I bet I can guess Carl's favorite candy, hmm is it MINT?

[@ElliesGarage]

Love it!! 😂😂😂

[@TyphonFishing]

is that a truckla shirt?

[@ElliesGarage]

Yep! Simone is the best!!!

[@TheRealDrJSquared]

Somewhere, some old man with Camel cigarettes is turning over in his grave.

[@ElliesGarage]

😂😂😂

[@toralfcross3819]

I bet those old armrests have shrunken and that is why they don't match the new units. Plastic rubber and foam does strange things after 50 or so years

[@ElliesGarage]

That's a great point. We didn't even think of that. Thanks!
