I designed a CAD version of the cup holder on Tinkercad, I then printed that out and sketched it on the metal.

Cut Out the Cup Holder

Using a grinder and cut disc cut out the rough shape

Sand Out the Shape

Using a belt sander sand the metal to you have a shape you like

Drill Out the Hole

using a hole saw 2-3/4in drill out the hole

Bend Metal to a 90* Angle

Using a vice and hammer bend the metal to 90*

(optional)- If you want to now would be the time to roughly sand the metal with 220 grit sandpaper using orbital sander

Silicon the Cup Holder Into the Hole

Paint
