After my vacation I'll be back into parts making mode
Hopefully after I get back from my vacation I can get some of my molds done to my satisfaction and start making parts for my wife's and my 66 darts. here is my latest set of adventures that just add to the many I already have:eek:.
rear armrest pads for the convertibles W/O the ashtray. I found a person who can show me how to rotocast eurathane rubber into the molds and make the pads as flexible as they were when new(gotta pay him big $$$ to get the correct color on reds and blues though) so I'm sticking to white or black pads.
I have the metal cut and bent to shape except for the finish rolling of the edge. the main pad is made
here is the metal that matches the original plate pretty close.
here is the wooden plug for the armrest pad minus ashtray. I'm still in the make it look "purty" phase.
the other side
metal
metal matches the curvature pretty darn good
now I have to roll the outer edge and die punch a 1/8" dimple in the screw hole locations.
after the wood buck is made I'll have a pro stretch vinyl over the mold and take a master hard cast part to creat the 2part rotocast mold part.. I'm excited to get these done. I can then start work on the side panels with speakers to match the front kick panels I have made and if I'm luck I can finish up the dash pads. by Christmas.
