Top frame parts
Car sure does look SWEET.
I'd just trace the original part on the other side and flip pattern . I had to make mine from 3 pieces off of different cars . if you do make a a tracing could you scan it and email it to me? I'd like to make mine as close to original shape as possible (but made from ABS so they don't rot) here is my attempt at pattern making . BTW my friend is going to help me make that long part out of ABS when he comes down for a visit in July this year.
I have sucesfully made some parts for my convertible such as side glass wing divider cushions (convertible specific)
here they are getting molded up. yeah I used my kids old lego set.
some custom made kick panels for 5 1/4"speakers
the side panel trim that is always dry and brittle on my cars. I'm still testing it on how to make it look good and cut it out straight? I SUCK at hand cutting things out.
and the top finish trim
to date I have only made 1 of these though. My first one( Bunch of failures included ) probably cost me $300.00 and it's not prefect. I am working with a pro now and he's giving me pointers to help make that monster, probably the easiest way is to make a female and Draw the plastic down ,but it gets really thin down there in the bottom. It's the simplest design s that can be stupid hard to do right.
